[vtkusers] Installing VTK on Linux

[Asad A. Abu-Tarif]

Hi,
I've been using VTK extensively for about 3 years now.
However, I've been using it on an NT machine. Now I'm 
trying to install it and run examples on a RedHat Linux 
machine. I downloaded Mesa and installed it, downloaded
VTK and compiled it and then I tried to compile and run
one of the examples that come with VTK.
It compiles fine but I always get this error whenever I try
to run it (or any other example I try):

*************************************************************
Generic Warning: In vtkGraphicsFactory.cxx, line 291
Attempting to create an OpenGL or Mesa based object with a VTK that is not
linked/configured with Mesa/OpenGL.

Then the example core dumps.
*************************************************************
Obviously I'm doing something wrong with Mesa installation. Coule any one help?

I'm using using the make file that comes with VTK and gcc as my compiler.

I've seen a lot of discussion before about installing VTK on Linux but I 
searched the archieve and couldn't find this one. However, I still apologize
if this is a repeated question.

Thanks for the help,
