[vtk-developers] Install problem for VTK on Linux.

[François Bertel]

I had the same issue. I guess your build tree still have a 
libvtksys.so.4.5.0 and also a libvtksys.so symbolic link that points to
libvtksys.so.4.5.0. Just remove those files: libvtksys.so.5.1.0 will be 
built. But this is only one of the libraries that have this issue.
You should delete all the *.so* files from the build tree and type make, 
then make install.
