[vtkusers] Fail to link with static/shared VTK 4 on Linux/FreeBSD (undefined reference to...)

[Chih-Wei Chiu]

Problem: "undefined reference to..."
Software versions: VTK 4.0, gcc 3.0.4
OS: RedHat Linux 6.2

I used to successfully compile and link a simple program using
vtkMarchingCubes on Windows 2000, with VC++ 6.0 and VTK 4.

But it can not be link with the static VTK 4 libraries on Linux (they
have been successfully built in /usr/local/lib/vtk). 

It seems tha a lot of people in this mailing list encoutered the same
problem also, but why there is no answer? (I've search the mailing list
archive, exhaustly)
