<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Thanks to John and Jothy I was able to get vtk_minimal to compile and run. The webpage of instructions was necessary as was the suggestion to get the platform SDK (which I hadn't gotten previously since I was on dial-up and the download time was about 20 hours. Recently I got cable internet and such things are available!). Finally, running the compiled and linked program I got a lot of dll errors which I only solved by moving each requested dll from c:\program files\vtk\bin to c:\windows\system32.<br>Thank you again and now I can start actually learning VTK!
