[vtkusers] how to use gprof/gcov with vtk

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Hi Daniel,

  I'll reply at the top of the message even if it's not recommended.
  Thank you for your answer, but that was exactly what I tried. But I get theses weird errors:

Do you know how to work around ?
By the way I am not using Dart., is it really compulsary for that purpose ?
Thanks again for your answer,
