[vtkusers] questions about vtk installation on SunOS

[Yanwei Niu]

HI, Dear Everyone:

   I have installed VTK 4.2.2 on my SunOS, the compilation is finished
successfully. Yet whenever I run it I got "Bus error". Dont even know how
the debug it. The following is the detail. Any comments are welcome:

   1. My os information:

   achine hardware:   sun4u
   OS version:         5.8
   Processor type:     sparc
   Hardware:           SUNW,Ultra-5_10

   2. My cshrc setup:


-----------------------------
setenv  LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/X/lib:$EARTH_HOME/lib:$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:${EARTH_HOME}/lib/sun4:/usr/openwin/lib:/m/usa/niu/VTK/install/lib/vtk:/usr/local/Sol8/usr/openwin/lib:/usa/niu/tcltk83/tclinstall/lib:/usa/niu/tcltk83/tkinstall/lib:/usa/niu/python/install/lib/python2.2/config/

setenv VTK_DATA_ROOT /m/usa/niu/VTK/VTKData



set path=($path $KDEDIR/bin)

set path=($path /opt/SUNWSpro/bin /usr/ccs/bin /usr/local/capsl/bin)
set path=($path /m/usa/niu/R/R-1.5.1/bin/)
set path=($path /m/usa/niu/cmake/bin  /m/usa/niu/cmake/Share /m/usa/niu/cmake/man)

set path=($path /m/usa/niu/tcltk83/tclinstall/bin /m/usa/niu/tcltk83/tkinstall/bin  /usa/niu/python/install/bin  )
set path=($path /m/usa/niu/VTK/install/bin)

setenv  PYTHONPATH
/usa/niu/VTK/VTK-4.2.2/Wrapping/Python:/usa/niu/python/install/bin:/m/usa/niu/VTK/install/lib/vtk
-------------------------------

   3. How I run the vtk:

   source ./cshrc

   vtk ../../VTK-4.2.2/Examples/Tutorial/Step1/Tcl/Cone.tcl

   The only error msg I got is "bus error", I tried other exampls like
   rainbow.tcl, all bus error. I also tried the vtkPython, same problem,
   only error msg is "bus error"

   I tried to source the tcl(line by line ) in the vtk command window
   after I launch vtk,
   only when I run the last "renWin Render", the bus error will occur>
