[vtkusers] Compiling VTK 3.2 on RedHat 7.0

[Carlos Martinez Burgos]

Hello again.

I have upgraded Red Hat 7.0 with the bug fixes and nothing has changed. I
get the same error message and when I run an example, I get a core dump.

I have a Geforce 2 MX with the NVIDIA rpm drivers. Could this be the
problem? I think not because everything is OK but VTK.

I think that I could install Mandrake 7.2, the NVIDIA drivers, and compile
VTK again. Has anybody compiled VTK in Mandrake 7.2? Will I get the same
problems?

If I can't resolve this problem I'm going to install VTK and JDK on
Windows, but I prefer Linux to develop software. Do you understand me?

Well, I use VTK on work but I need to use it in home, where I can't have
it run. Please help me!!

Thanks a lot.
