[vtkusers] Follow-up of Error with Running Java SimpleVTK

[Xinzi Wu]

Hi All,

I posted the following message to the VTK mailing list a long time ago. Since then, I have had quite a few people sending me emails and asking me whether I solved this problem. Yes, I solved this problem. My solution is to create a symbolic link libC.so in /usr/lib, pointing at /usr/lib/libC.so.5. I think (my memory may be wrong as it has been quite a while since I solved my problem) that the reason the solution works is because on my machine the symbol _pure_error_ is defined in libC.so.5. However, at run time, the system is looking at libC.so for this symbol and there is no libC.so on my machine. By creating the symbolic link, this symbol is then found. I found this solution by searching _pure_error_ in Google. And in some other mailing list (don't remember the name of it), I got the clue to solve this problem.

I hope this posting will help people who are experiencing similar problems.
