[vtkusers] Problem building VTK 4.0 under Debian Linux

Tue Jan 28 19:48:21 EST 2003

Hey Brian

If you can pass all those lines you might want to check your dataset and 
make sure that your dataformat is not the problem as you are trying to 
call a method from vtkCellData(). I have seen this problem alot when I was 
doing FE mesh generation and submitted a wrong dataformat to the class it 
simply crashed specially with classes that dealt with cells and their 
links.

hope this helps
