[vtkusers] linux question

[Alan Zone]

sorry, I still don't understand. I am new to both vtk and linux.

what I got from make Cone is that some makefiles are missing.

so I gave up the rpm files, and downloaded vtk.tar.gz
I unzip it using 'tar zxf vtk.tar.gz', it creates a vtk directory.
so I configure, then make. I waited for one and a half hour, it finally 
stopped.
but what can I do now? I can't even see a file that can run on the linux 
machine. and where are the include files and library files that I can 
include and compile for the files I create myself to test vtk?

I am confused. what is the difference between the rpm and tar.gz?
