[vtkusers] linking problems

[Clinton Stimpson]

You need to give the compiler the libraries to link with.  You only told 
it where the libraries are to link with.

It'll be something like this.

g++ -I/usr/include/vtk -L/usr/lib/vtk  -lvtkIO -lvtkRendering -lvtkftgl \
           -lvtkfreetype -lvtkImaging -lvtkGraphics -lvtkFiltering -lvtkCommon\
            -lvtkexpat -lvtkjpeg -lvtkpng -lvtktiff -lvtkzlib Medical1.cxx
