[vtkusers] linking problems

[Torsten Wirz]

hi all, 

I´m a newbie user of the VTK library and have problems by linking the  
Medical1.cxx test programm with the g++ compiler. 

g++ -I/usr/include/vtk -L/usr/lib/vtk  Medical1.cxx

The compilation is no problem, but when he starts linking the following errors 
occure:

/tmp/cc0mHzj4.o(.text+0x6c): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `vtkRenderer::New()'
------- snip -----------

these message for each vtk-memberfunktion.

I´m using Suse Linux 8.1 and the dynamic libraries are available:

gdpc27:/home/wirz #  ldconfig -p | grep vtk
        libvtkzlib.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/vtk/libvtkzlib.so
        libvtktiff.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/vtk/libvtktiff.so
        libvtkpng.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/vtk/libvtkpng.so
        libvtkjpeg.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/vtk/libvtkjpeg.so
        libvtkftgl.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/vtk/libvtkftgl.so
        libvtkfreetype.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/vtk/libvtkfreetype.so
        libvtkexpat.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/vtk/libvtkexpat.so
------- snip ------------

I don´t now why the linker can not find libraries. Does anybody have an idea?

thanx all in advance 

best regards

Torsten
