[vtkusers] Trouble installing VTK on Solaris.

[Mukta Nandwani]

...and now I have a new error!!

c++  -O2 -fpermissive -pipe -fPIC   -I.  -I. -I./../graphics 
-DVTK_USE_GRAPHICS -I./../imaging -DVTK_USE_IMAGING -I./../patented 
-DVTK_USE_PATENTED -I./../contrib -DVTK_USE_CONTRIB  
-I/home/nandwani/Mesa-3.4.2/include   -I/usr/openwin/include  -I./../common 
-I../common -I/home/ausable/software/src/tcl7.6/tk4.2/generic 
-I/home/ausable/software/src/tcl7.6/tcl7.6/generic -I/usr/java1.2/include 
-I/usr/java1.2/include/solaris -I/home/schroede/montnaro/Python-1.4/Include 
-Wl,-G -o \
libVTKCommon.so \
   vtkActor2D.o vtkActor2DCollection.o (and other .o files)
ld: elf error: file vtkPointLocator2D.o: elf_strptr: Request error: no string 
table
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to libVTKCommon.so
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[1]: *** [libVTKCommon.so] Error 1

I have no idea what an 'elf' error' is.

Help!!
Mukta.
