[vtkusers] Problems linking with OpenGL on SUN ultra 2

[Donald Tournier]

I am having trouble compiling the example program for creating a sphere
which I got from the kitware homepage. This is my first attempt at using
vtk. The object file is created, but then I get unreferenced symbol
problems for the OpenGL subroutines. Below is the output of the command
'make' and the output of 'nm' on the libVTKGraphics file.

Does anyone know how to overcome this?
Thanks,

donald.
