[vtkusers] java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: VTKInit

[Philip Cook]

I am attempting to use vtkSphereSource in Java. I have found that I 
am forced to creat a vtkPanel object before vtkSphereSource will 
work.

This code works fine:

  vtkPanel renPanel = new vtkPanel();
  vtkSphereSource sphere = new vtkSphereSource();

But this code:
  
  vtkSphereSource sphere = new vtkSphereSource();
  vtkPanel renPanel = new vtkPanel();

gives the following run time error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: VTKInit
        at vtk.vtkSphereSource.VTKInit(Native Method)
        at vtk.vtkObject.<init>(vtkObject.java:97)
        at vtk.vtkProcessObject.<init>(vtkProcessObject.java:78)
        at vtk.vtkSource.<init>(vtkSource.java:82)

        at vtk.vtkSphereSource.<init>(vtkSphereSource.java:86)
        at SphFuncGlyph.<init>(SphFuncGlyph.java:28)

[ Line 28 of SphFuncGlyph.java is the line vtkSphereSource sphere 
= new vtkSphereSource(); ]
  
Why does the vtkPanel matter? How can I create vtk objects 
without having to make a vtkPanel?

Thanks,
