Hi,
I tried to install vtk32 on Windows2000 NT following
installation instructions provided in the directory
- vtk-src-windows - as:

------------------------------------------------------------
PC Installation
The PC build process requires running a program to build dependencies and 
makefiles. Then you use the compiler make utility to compile as follows.
     1. Install vtk3.2 distribution by unzipping into the appropriate 
directory.

     2. Execute vtk\pcmaker\pcmaker.exe. This will pop-up a little
        GUI that allows you to tailor the build. It then starts
        building makefiles and dependencies. It will run for a couple
        minutes depending on your system. You'll have to tell pcamaker
        where you've placed your VTK source code, and where to build
        the object code and dll's (we'll call it "vtkbin").

     3. When pcmaker completes, start up a MS-DOS shell window
        and change directories to vtkbin\vtkdll. Then run
        "nmake" (Microsoft compiler). This will compile for
        a LONG time. When it's done, you'll have a vtkdll.dll
        file in vtkbin\vtkdll\obj. You can then move this
        file into the appropriate system directory
        (on Win95: Windows\System; on NT: WinNT\system).

     4. If you want to use Tcl/Tk on your PC, repeat step 3 above
        except work in directory vtkbin\vtktcl to create
        vtkbin\vtktcl\vtktcl.dll. Remember to move this file into your
        system area. (You'll also have to have Tcl (e.g., Wish)
        installed.)

     5. You can then link against vtkdll.dll (C++); or run Tcl
        (wish). If you're running Tcl, make sure you start by
        dynamically loading the vtktcl libraries with the command
        "load vtktcl".

     6. Enjoy.
We recommend a 300MByte minimum swap size or you'll have trouble during the 
link phase.

------------------------------------------------------------

but it doesn't work, does anybody has an idea.

Thank you in advance
