I have already done that. I even just redownloaded Mesa and re-installed it.
I also re-ran configure with the options above and clean-built vtk. Still,
when
I build any of the examples and try to run them I get the same error.

Is there a link option in the make file that I'm missing?
As I said, I'm using the make file that came with the examples and I issue
the command:
"gmake Cone" to build the Cone.cxx.

I also created the links to the vtk libraries and set the environment
variable
for the directory with the links.
In other words, I followed the directions that come with vtk to the letter!!
Any ideas?

Thanks for all the help!!
