[vtkusers] 'Undefined Reference' Error Message

[Jeremy Stout]

Hello, I am trying to compile a VTK program with the following line:

g++ translator.cpp -otranslator -I/usr/local/include/vtk
-I/usr/local/packages/mpich/include -L /usr/local/
lib/vtk/ -lvtkParallel  -L /usr/local/packages/mpich/lib -lmpich -ldl

Unfortunately, this results in the following error messages:

                 from /usr/local/include/vtk/vtkIOStream.h:36,

/tmp/ccZVONeC.o(.text+0x36): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `vtkConeSource::New()'

The code for the program can be seen here:
#include "vtkMPIController.h"
#include "vtkConeSource.h"
#include "mpi.h"

using namespace std;

main(int argc, char* argv[])
        {
        vtkMPIController *controller;
        bool okToContinue;
        int numberOfProcesses;
        int myProcessID;

        controller = vtkMPIController::New();
        controller->Initialize(&argc, &argv);
        
        //Testing the Linker here
        vtkConeSource *test;
        test = vtkConeSource::New();
        
        numberOfProcesses = controller->GetNumberOfProcesses();
        myProcessID = controller->GetLocalProcessId();
        
        controller->Finalize();
        controller->Delete();
        }

I've tried several variations on linking options, including linking in
all of the vtk libraries.  If anyone could provide some assistance in
this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.
