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

[David Gobbi]

Hi Carlos,

The best way to set up user.make under Linux (or under any UNIX that
has tcl/tk properly installed) is

TCL_INCLUDE=
TCL_LIB= -ltcl8.0

TK_INCLUDE=
TK_LIB= -ltk8.0

If you do this, then VTK will should be able to find the libraries
as long as they are located in the library path and will also be
able to load either .a or .so libraries just fine.
