Ok, that's exactlly what I wanted, then it means that the build is 
failing because cmake didn't find OpenGL and didn't complain...

So now turn VTK_USE_RENDERING=ON, and fill in:

	OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY

For some reason you have your libGL.so in a very special that is neither 
one of them:

           /usr/lib
           /usr/local/lib
           /opt/graphics/OpenGL/lib
           /usr/openwin/lib
           /usr/X11R6/lib

So you'll have to edit CMakeCache.txt and fill OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY. Then 
try to compile again.

Could you send us the location of your libGL.so and libtk.so / libtcl.so
