Please help: vtk & Solaris

[Christian Igel]

Hi,

I wanted to evaluate vtk2.4 for Unix. But when I tried to run the example c++ 
programs, they exited with segmentation faults (directly).

Here comes information about the system and the test file (called q):

---------------------------------------------

Could you please help me to get the software running?
