[vtkusers] Trouble with Compiling Java Extensions

[Chris Johnson]

Hi Jon,

Before the compilation, you will need to create the VTK_HOME/java 
directory and VTK_HOME/java/vtk directory, if you haven't already. I don't
know if this is the problem you are encountering. These directories are
not created automatically.

A previous email to the list from Phil Varner has some useful information, 
if you haven't already come across it:

Let me know how you get on. We have installed vtk & java here many times
(on Solaris) and it has apparently been successful in compilation, but
never in running with java due to problems with shared libraries. The tcl
examples work well though.

Cheers,

Chris
