Installation Problems

[Paul F Brewster]

I've spent the past few days trying to get VTK working on my SGI Irix
machine, and have made almost no progress. I'm on an Onyx2 running 6.5.4.

The main problem comes down to this. I can compile it with the cc and CC
compilers, and it seems to compile ok. For other reasons I have not been
able to get the Tcl versions to work. But when I try to write a CC program
and compile it I get linker errors.

ld32: WARNING 84 : /ump/dval/scratch/norm.5/vtk31/lib/libVTKCommon.so is
not used for resolving any symbol.
ld32: WARNING 84 : /usr/lib32/libGLU.so is not used for resolving any
symbol.
ld32: WARNING 84 : /usr/lib32/libXmu.so is not used for resolving any
symbol.
ld32: WARNING 84 : /usr/lib32/libXi.so is not used for resolving any
symbol.

The GL and X warnings are no big deal but I don't understand the VTKCommon
warning. Especially when after that I get these errors:

ld32: ERROR 33 : Unresolved text symbol "vtkPolyDataReader::New(void)" --
1st referenced by platonic.o.
ld32: ERROR 33 : Unresolved text symbol "vtkRenderer::New(void)" -- 1st
referenced by platonic.o.
ld32: ERROR 33 : Unresolved text symbol "vtkRenderWindow::New(void)" --
1st referenced by platonic.o.
ld32: ERROR 33 : Unresolved text symbol 
"vtkRenderWindow::AddRenderer(vtkRenderer*)" -- 1st referenced by
platonic.o.
....... etc.

Obviously there must be some sort of name mangling going on here, but I
don't understand how or why. I am using the CC compiler here too.

Anybody experience this before, or have any suggestions?

Paul
