[vtk-developers] Recent problem with vtk and gcc

My LD_LIBRARY_PATH is fine. You are right, the Instantiator has to do with serialization.

Thanks,

Bill

I build shared with gcc, both 3.x and 2.95.2 on solaris 7/8.  I haven't 
seen any problems as of yet due to the instantiator, but I don't use the 
tcl wrappers.  I was going to post a message to find out what the  
Instantiator class was intended for, but I'm guessing that it has to do 
with serialization - why else would you want to instantiate a class with 
a string?  This might be a long-shot, but could it have something to do 
with your library path?  If you "ldd -r" on the vtk executable, do the 
paths look correct?

When I build static, all is well.

been building vtk with shared libraries for some time now. I suspect some weirdness in the
Instantiator wrt its static class variables.
