[vtkusers] Re: Problem by installing VTK on Solaris 2.5.1

[Tobias Hoevekamp]

Hi there,

thanks to all who help me getting vtk finally installed.
After switching to a Solaris2.6 box the compiling problems
disappeared. 

Onother problem with *.tcl scripts that use vtkTk...
was solved after I've got the user manual with the
example: 

./configure --with-tcl --with-tkwiget

Why isn't README.html in the distribution more explict on
that topic. It would have saved me a couple of hours
trying to figure how to get those things with vtkTk...
to run. I guess, there are folks around that won't use
vtk only due to the fact that they won't get it installed
on the fly. 

PLEASE include Chapter 2 of the User's Guide in the README.html

Best regards
