copied? do you mean manually?
there is a 'make install' target that should create and copy things to places
where VTK will expect them.
Try putting the 'Cone.o' part of your compile before all the libraries (-lGL,
-lGLU, lvtkCommon, etc). I believe g++ uses the libraries to resolve undefined
references only for objects/libraries that come before the defined reference.
So, for example, if there were undefined references in vtkIO they could be
resolved in vtkGraphics, but not the other way around (using your command line,
below).

HTH,
