Vtk 2.4 on RedHat 6.1 coredump

I used a process to install vtk 2.4 on RedHat 6.1 almost identical
to the one I've used on RedHat 5.2, and when I run "vtk Cone.tcl"
to test, it coredumps with a Segmentation Fault.
The biggest difference I can see, besides RedHat 6.1 of course, is
Mesa. I used the beta release on RedHat 5.2 -
rpm -i Mesa-3.1beta1-3.i386.rpm
rpm -i Mesa-devel-3.1beta1-3.i386.rpm
but I couldn't find them on the Internet, so used these instead:
rpm -i /contrib/mesa/Mesa-3.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -i /contrib/mesa/Mesa-devel-3.1-1.i386.rpm
Another difference is, the install on RedHat 5.2 was on a
COMPAQ Proliant 1850R, with 320M memory, 4M vram, whereas the
install of RedHat 6.1 is on an IBM Aptiva 550, with 96M of memory,
4M vram, and a Savage 4(?) video card.
I can re-compile vtk with the -g flag if I have to, but first I
thought I'd query vtkusers to see if anyone had a quick solution.

Install log for vtk 2.4 on RedHat 6.1:
First, installed Mesa.
ftp://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/contrib.redhat.com/libc6/i386/
and downloaded these two files and installed them:
rpm -i /contrib/mesa/Mesa-3.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -i /contrib/mesa/Mesa-devel-3.1-1.i386.rpm
Second, installed tcltk source by mounting RedHat 6.1 Disc #2 and doing -
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/tcltk-8.0.5-30.src.rpm
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/python-1.5.2-7.src.rpm
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/pythonlib-1.23-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
tar xzf tcl8.0.5.tar.gz
tar xzf tk8.0.5.tar.gz
Third, downloaded tarball for vtk 2.4 from -
http://www.kitware.com/vtkhtml/vtkdata/HowToGetSoftware.html
and installed vtk 2.4. Instructions are in /contrib/vtk/vtk2.4/VTK-Linux-HOWTO
mkdir /contrib/vtk
cd /contrib/vtk
tar xzvf vtk24unix.tar.gz
cd vtk2.4
./configure --with-mesa --with-tcl --with-shared --with-contrib \
--with-tkwidget --with-patented
backupfile user.make #user.make.d990803.t112112.root
vi user.make # Made these changes:

make
cd /usr/lib
ln -s /contrib/vtk/vtk2.4/*/*.so .
/sbin/ldconfig -n /usr/lib
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /contrib/vtk/vtk2.4/tcl/vtk .
Mounted cdrom from book "The Visualization Toolkit" and did -
cd /contrib/vtk/vtk2.4
(cd /mnt/cdrom; tar cf - vtkdata) | tar xf -
ln -s /contrib/vtk/vtk2.4/vtkdata /contrib/vtk/vtkdata
ln -s /contrib/vtk/vtk2.4 /opt/vtk
To test, I copied Cone.tcl to my home directory, and modified it,
as follows:
puts "Cone.tcl entered"
catch {load vtktcl}
# user interface command widget
source /opt/vtk/examplesTcl/vtkInt.tcl
# create a rendering window and renderer
puts "vtkRenderer ren1"
vtkRenderer ren1
puts "vtkRenderWindow renWin"
vtkRenderWindow renWin
puts "renWin AddRenderer ren1"
renWin AddRenderer ren1
puts "renWin StereoCapableWindowOn"
renWin StereoCapableWindowOn
puts "vtkRenderWindowInteractor iren"
vtkRenderWindowInteractor iren
iren SetRenderWindow renWin
puts "creating actor now"
# create an actor and give it cone geometry
vtkConeSource cone
cone SetResolution 8
vtkPolyDataMapper coneMapper
coneMapper SetInput [cone GetOutput]
vtkActor coneActor
coneActor SetMapper coneMapper
# assign our actor to the renderer
ren1 AddActor coneActor
# enable user interface interactor
iren SetUserMethod {wm deiconify .vtkInteract}
iren Initialize
puts "doing wm withdraw"
# prevent the tk window from showing up then start the event loop
wm withdraw .
I get segmentation fault when I try to run Cone.tcl:
[smitty at bluff vtkstuff]$ vtk Cone.tcl
Cone.tcl entered
After load vtktcl
vtkRenderer ren1
vtkRenderWindow renWin
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
