[vtkusers] Mandrake Linux 9.0 -- VTK build problem

[Jonathan Lau]

Hi,

I am currently having problems building vtk4.0 on a "fresh" install of 
Mandrake Linux 9.0 (g++ version 3.2).

I have been following the installation instructions in VTK/README.txt. 
 However, my install is failing when building vtkXImageWindow.cxx with 
the following errors:

<strstream.h>. To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated.

The source of the problem seems to be that vtkXImageWindowHeader.h can't 
find the X11 headers.  How can I get the vtkXImageWindow header to "see" 
these header files? i.e. will I have to modify 
the vtkXImageWindowHeader.h manually, or is it because my build settings 
are off?

If you want specific information about my build settings please let me 
know and I will send them over.  I just don't want to overload the list 
with my whole CMakeCache.txt...

Sorry, if this is a trivial problem, I am still new to this.

Any help would be appreciated!
