It's a CMake + Ubuntu 11.04 issue. In the latest version of Ubuntu (Debian actually) they included multiarch support. Many libraries are no longer located in /usr/lib, now they are in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. This causes cmake to fail when it searches for things like X11.<br>
<br>To solve this, I edited UnixPaths.cmake in my cmake 2.8.4 install and appended the path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to the variables CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH and CMAKE_PLATFORM_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES.<br><br><br>Here is the cmake bug report: <a href="http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12037">http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12037</a><br>

<div>Like you I have searched the web and asked on the VTK developers group to no avail. I have not found a solution at all. </div>NVidia 270.4106 is the one that is currently in use for Ubuntu 11.04. <div><br></div><div>
Oddly enough if you download the paraview binary it works Ok, clearly it hasn't been compiled under Ubuntu 11.04. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So I am now driven to writing a filter that builds a polydata structure saving it as a vtp file and then using ParaView. </div><div><br></div><div><br>Regards</div><div> Andrew</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Andrew,<br><br>Did you ever find a solution to the problem of building VTK in Ubuntu 11.04? I am getting the same errors as you and have tried everyone's solutions, but nothing works. Originally, I had just done an upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 and VTK worked fine. I was having other issues that prompted me to start over with a clean install and now I am having troubles. Perhaps there are issues with some of the newer packages.<br>
<br>Also, Nvidia did come out recently with new drivers for Ubuntu 11.04 (actually, I think they are just for any Linux) that apparently fix some problems with the X server:<br><br><a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/New-Nvidia-Linux-Driver-Supports-Ubuntu-11-04-196264.shtml" target="_blank">http://news.softpedia.com/news/New-Nvidia-Linux-Driver-Supports-Ubuntu-11-04-196264.shtml</a><br>
