[Paraview] problems building 2.0.0 on gentoo linux 2.4.25 and nvidia

[John Lloyd]

As you might guess, I'm having problems getting this to build with a Nvidia 
Nforce2 equipped motherboard.

A few attempts have yielded...

Building executable /home/paraview/bin/GraphicsCxxTests...
/usr/X11R6/lib/libMesaGL.so: undefined reference to `_nv000996gl'
/usr/X11R6/lib/libMesaGL.so: undefined reference to `_nv000919gl'
....for several hundred lines including one like this....
/usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1: undefined reference to `glBlendEquationSeparateNVX'
...and several hundred lines more `nv0000xxxx`, then install messages ending 
with...
CMake Error: Error in cmake code at
/home/paraview/Utilities/SPCTH/cmake_install.cmake:4:
FILE cannot find file: /home/paraview/bin/libSPCTH.so to install.
make: *** [install] Error 255

Thinking this was somehow Nvidia and openGL related because of that "NVX", I 
switched to non-Nvidia gl.h files, and got...

Building executable /home/paraview/bin/GraphicsCxxTests...
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/../../../../i486-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
...ending with....

make: *** [install] Error 255

(I don't understand this message "File format not recognized" -- I gave a 
directory for the opengl_gl_library question, not a .so file, yet it seems 
to be expecting a shared object file.)

Another attempt yielded

Needless to say I do not know what I am doing.  I guess my biggest question 
is:  what versions are needed for things Paraview source tree does not 
supply?

-- gl.h, and particularly any extensions needed
-- glibc
-- gcc


I am using gcc 3.3.4
$ gcc -v

The config variables are

Variable Name: OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR
Description: What is the path where the file GL/gl.h can be found
Current Value: /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/include/GL
New Value (Enter to keep current value):

Variable Name: OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY
Description: Where can one of the MesaGL or GL libraries be found
Current Value: /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib
New Value (Enter to keep current value):

Variable Name: OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY
Description: Where can one of the MesaGLU or GLU libraries be found
Current Value: /usr/lib/libGLU.so
New Value (Enter to keep current value):

Variable Name: OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR
Description: What is the path where the file GL/xmesa.h can be found
Current Value: OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND
New Value (Enter to keep current value):

Is there further documentation of the build configuration variables?


I realize this is a complaint of the "help me it doesn't work" variety, but 
any suggestions (or further questions) at all will be helpful.


Thanks
