[vtkusers] VTK on AMD64 / x86_64

[ALIZIER Julien AUSY]

Hi Mathieu,

It is not directly related to the thread but for your information, I
compiled
VTK on a Compaq/DEC OSF/1 Tru64 platform and had the same problem.

On DEC, the opengl libraries are in :
  /usr/shlib

VTK 4.4 works then fine (but not ParaView 1.2.1)

Cordialement,

-- Julien

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

Thanks
Mathieu
