while compiling vtk on linux

[Daniel J. Blezek, Ph.D.]

Hi Naveen,

  I would suggest upgrading VTK to version 3.11, the latest version.  In
vtk 2.4, the Tk rendering depended on some internal headers, namely
tkInt.h.  In 3.1, that dependancy is removed (on the UNIX side only,
anyone care to take a stab at the WinNT side?).

  Looking at the line you are using to compile, I see this:

-I/usr/include/tk.h
-I/usr/include/tcl.h
-I/usr/src-shared/local.old/mpich/profiling/nupshot/tkInt.h

This is a problem.  The -I flag is looking for directories, and you have
given it individual files.  Try removing the filename and re-compiling

-I/usr/include/
-I/usr/include/
-I/usr/src-shared/local.old/mpich/profiling/nupshot/


These lines are likely in the user.make file in the top level vtk2.4
directory.

-dan
