[vtkusers] Re: RedHat 7.2 Mesa bug with VTK?

[Dave Reed]

Compiled Mesa 4.0 in /usr/local/lib. Tried recompiling a vtk nightly
from July that I had been using --with-opengl (I seem to remember
reading that we should be using that now or should we use --with-mesa)
but I still get the holes in the polygon.

I didn't remove the Mesa-3.4.2 that RedHat put in /usr/lib, but 
ldd medical1 reports that it is using /usr/local/lib/libGL.so (which
is Mesa 4.0).

Any more suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave
