[vtkusers] Compilation problem

[David Cole]

Did you set the OPENGL_* variables appropriately for Mesa when you ran 
ccmake to configure?
Did you build Mesa yourself or did it come with your Linux?

Something along these lines should end up in your CMakeCache.txt when 
using Mesa:
OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/david/Mesa-6.2.1/include
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/david/Mesa-6.2.1/lib/libGL.so
OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/david/Mesa-6.2.1/lib/libGLU.so
OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/david/Mesa-6.2.1/include

I'm not a Linux expert, so I can't speak to specifics, but you should be 
able to build VTK with or without Mesa and get it work... Perhaps 
somebody else will chime in with some more hints if this doesn't do the 
trick...

HTH,
David
