[vtkusers] 'Undefined Reference' Error Message

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Jeremy,

	What is the output of:

nm libvtkParallel.so| c++filt| grep vtkMPIController::New
and
nm libvtkGraphics.so| c++filt| grep vtkConeSource::New

I get:

0016d0b6 T vtkMPIController::New()
0016ea3c W vtkMPIController::NewInstanceInternal() const

and

000c821e T vtkConeSource::New()
000c9604 W vtkConeSource::NewInstanceInternal() const

If you don't get anything, that mean you didn't build VTK properly, turn 
MPI on for example

HTH
Mathieu
