[vtk-developers] certain libraries included twice

[Ken Martin]

Brad and I checked into this recently. The problem is that some versions
of gcc have a wacked out issue with the math library and cannot handle
the math library coming before some internal libraies. So the
linker/compiler actually searches for -lm in your link line and removes
it and then puts it where it wants it (after some of the run time c++
lib stuff). The problem is that it only searches for one copy of -lm and
if there are two only one gets moved. In a nutshell that version of gcc
is broken but ... we have to live with it. So VTK's CMakeLists files
should be modified to deal with the issue. I think once CMake 1.4 is out
we will overhaul the VTK development tree's makefiles and clean up this
issue.
