[vtk-developers] Compiling VTK on SC40/SC45 OSF systems

[Randall Hand]

I'm trying to compile VTK on our SC40 & SC45 systems (running OSF), and 
running into the following problem:

cxx: Error: 
../../ezViz/Utilities/VTK/Rendering/vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.cxx, line 37:
cannot overload functions distinguished by return type alone
extern "C" vtkglX::__GLXextFuncPtr glXGetProcAddressARB(const GLubyte *);
-----------------------------------^
Building object file vtkOpenGLTexture.o...
cxx: Info: 1 error detected in the compilation of 
"../../ezViz/Utilities/VTK/Rendering/vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.cxx".
Building object file vtkOpenGLFreeTypeTextMapper.o...
gmake[3]: *** [vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.o] Error 1
gmake[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
cxx: Info: File not optimized; use -g3 if both optimization and debug 
wanted.
cxx: Info: File not optimized; use -g3 if both optimization and debug

Building object file vtkgl.o...
gmake[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
cxx: Info: File not optimized; use -g3 if both optimization and debug 
wanted.
gmake[2]: *** [default_target] Error 2
gmake[1]: *** [default_target_Rendering] Error 2
gmake: *** [default_target] Error 2
 
I've found the offending line, inside a #define block, and simply commented 
it out. That lets the compile complete, but i'm not sure if it's breaking 
anything else. Any hints as to the proper resolution to this?
