[vtkusers] Problems trying to run the VTK RPMs

[Paul Welton]

I have Red Hat 7.0 and installed the VTK RPMs from the boxed CD,
thinking that this would be the easiest way to go ... but:

[root at localhost /root]# vtk
vtk: error while loading shared libraries:
/usr/lib/libVTKGraphicsTcl.so: undefined symbol: tkMainWindowList

Anyone know how to fix this?

[root at localhost /root]# which vtk
/usr/bin/vtk
[root at localhost /root]# ls -rlt /usr/bin/vtk
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         5280 Jan 23  2001 /usr/bin/vtk

I could not find tkMainWindowList in the source code for Tk, but did
find it in the VTK source file
"graphics/vtkXRenderWindowTclInteractor.cxx".
