[vtkusers] HELP! VTK & LINUX

[Christos Panagiotou]

guys is there any problem with vtk linking in linux?

I installed the rpm nightly release as I thought i did something wrong 
in the compilation of the src files (which I had the same problem that I 
have with the rpm build). All headers were placed in /usr/include/vtk. I 
linked the complier (I use KDevelop) to include this directory (-I 
/usr/include/vtk) and I STILL have errors about _undefined methods._
I try to compile and run the sphere example shown in 
http://www.vtk.org/example-code.php (which is supposed to show 
functionality of VTK and I assume its tested) however I get all these 
errors:

/bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor 
-Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith 
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 
-D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -O2 -O0 -g3 -Wall -I

I saw also this msg posted in a bulleting board:


  GCC "Name Mangling" Prevent from Linking?

(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2002-04/msg00124.html)

Please anyone know something about this please email me

I would be greatfull for any replies
cheers
