buidling vtk2.4 with tk8.2.3

[Dimitri PAPADOPOULOS-ORFANOS]

Hi,

I am trying to build vtk2.4 with tk8.2.3. I get the following error
message while linking:

/home/papadopo/vtk2.4/graphics/libVTKGraphicsTcl.so: undefined reference to 
`tkMainWindowList'
[...]


The problem is that 'tkMainWindowList' is defined in header
tk8.2.3/generic/tkInt.h like this:

	extern TkMainInfo                *tkMainWindowList;

However this variable is never declared in any Tk *.c file!
Is this a bug in Ttk8.2.3?

This variable is used in graphics/vtkXRenderWindowTclInteractor.cxx:

	extern TkMainInfo *tkMainWindowList;

	// use the same display as tcl/tk
	ren->SetDisplayId(Tk_Display(tkMainWindowList->winPtr));


My platform is:
	Solaris 7/Sparc
	egcs-1.1.2
	vtk2.4
	tcl8.2.3/tk8.2.3

I configured with:
	./configure --with-contrib --with-patented --with-python --with-tcl 
--with-tkwidget --with-shared --prefix=/usr/local/vtk2.4

Any hints on what to do next?

Sorry if this has already been asked, I'm new to this list.
