Error compiling vtk 2.4 under Slakware

[Lisa Sobierajski Avila]

Hello Miguel,

It sounds like your system either doesn't have pthreads.h or it is not 
compatible with the pthread code in vtkMultiThreader. You should delete the 
-DVTK_USE_PTHREADS. Your vtk won't be able to make use of multiple 
processors, but hopefully it will compile.
