[vtkusers] More on: What version to use with redhat 7.0 and VTK3.1.2?

[Berk Geveci]

	I don't think this has anything to do with Redhat. For some reason,
	MESA is not defined (look at lines 76-78 in vtkMesaRenderWindow.h,
	the instance variable OffScreenContextId is surrounded by ifdefs).
	There are three possible solutions:
	1) Obtain the mesa you were using before,
	2) Try to compile without VTK_USE_MESA (configure without --with-mesa).
	If you have the GL include files in /usr/include or /usr/X11R6/include
	directory, you will have a vanilla opengl configuration and that
	might work,
	3) Obtain a nightly release, in the version (from the cvs tree) I am
using,
	the relevant lines in vtkMesaRenderWindow.h look like this:

	// If mesa is not defined it means that vtk was configured with-mesa
	// but found non-mesa header files, so define OffScreenContextId as
	// a void*, so this class will compile anyway.
	#ifdef MESA
	  OSMesaContext OffScreenContextId;
	#else
	  void* OffScreenContextId;
	#endif
	
	Good luck.
