Problems compiling VTK 3.1

[David Gobbi]

Hi Ken, Vetle,

I have had this same problem in one particular instance: with 
recent distrubutions of utah-glx accelerated OpenGL for linux.

The problem is that configure looks for /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glxmd.h,
(and it looks for glxmd.h in other places), but utah-glx does not have
this file.  I'm guessing that the reason configure looks for glxmd.h and
not simply gl.h is that it is trying to distinguish between real OpenGL
and Mesa.  So configure definitely needs some enhancement, but I don't
know what the best solution is. 

 - David
