[vtkusers] Using VTK and FLTK..Reply

[Sean McInerney]

Okay BeeJay ... Let's see ...

   Both VTK 4.4 and 4.2 should work, but the 4.2 headers should not be 
used when linking with the 4.4 libraries (and vice versa). Hopefully, 
this can boil down to some simple tweaking via CMake (the CMakeSetup 
executable on windows). Aside from making sure that CMakeSetup is 
dealing with headers and libraries from the correct versions of VTK and 
FLTK, try setting 'BUILD_SHARED_LIBS' to 'OFF'.

   If this doesn't help, feel free to send the CMakeCache.txt file 
generated by CMakeSetup to me.
