[vtkusers] Re:a 'new' RedHAt 7.0 Compile Problem

[Carlos Martinez Burgos]

Hello again.

I have built VTK again on RedHat 7.0 in my work but I have the same
problem. Here I don't have an NVIDIA accelerator. I had updated to
glibc-2.2 and gcc-2.96-69 from rh70 updates (not had downgraded to
gcc-2.95).

I used the user.make file attached.
I run configure as this:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/vtk3.2 --with-opengl --with-tkwidget 
--with-shared --with-tcl --with-java --with-python --with-patented 
--with-contrib

I built using gmake and I get the error attached.

I solved this error changing in tcl/Makefile file:
vtk:    Makefile tkAppInit.o ${TOOLKIT_DEPENDS} 
        $(CXX) -o vtk tkAppInit.o \
        -L. ${CXX_FLAGS} ${VTK_SHLIB_LINK_FLAGS} ${XLDFLAGS} ${LDLIBS} \
        ${XLIBS} -lXext -lXt ${X_PRE_LIBS} -lX11 ${X_EXTRA_LIBS} -lm

by

vtk:    Makefile tkAppInit.o ${TOOLKIT_DEPENDS} 
        $(CXX) -o vtk tkAppInit.o \
        -L. ${CXX_FLAGS} ${VTK_SHLIB_BUILD_FLAGS} ${XLDFLAGS} ${LDLIBS} \
        ${XLIBS} -lXext -lXt ${X_PRE_LIBS} -lX11 ${X_EXTRA_LIBS} -lm

OK.

Now I run a tcl script and get a segmentation fault. If I run vtk with no
scripts I get a segmentation fault too.

At home, I built VTK on a Athlon 1000MHz with a NVIDIA Geforce2 MX card
with RedHat 7.0 with glibc updated to 2.2 and with gcc downgraded to 2.95
and I had the same problems.

On another computer, a Pentium 166MMX with a SVIRGE card with Mandrake
7.2, I get the same error and after solve it, I get a segmentation fault
too. Here I run python some examples and run OK but not in tcl.

I think that the problem is change ${VTK_SHLIB_LINK_FLAGS} by
${VTK_SHLIB_BUILD_FLAGS} on tcl/Makefile. What can I do to solve the
error?

I don't know what happends. Why I can't get a successfull compilation of
VTK? What can I do? I think that I'm stupid.

Thanks in advance.

PS: Sorry for my english but I don't know exactly how to express myself.
