[vtkusers] Re: linux VTK CVS build , undefined symbol: _ZTV24vtkVolumeRayCastFunction ???

[Dan White]

Hi,

I trashed all VTK stuff from
/usr/bin
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/include
and vtkpython and anything else on the system I could find including  
stuff in the python /site-packages

trashed the contents of my VTK/bin directory

checked my ccmake .   stuff was all as it should be,
then ran
make
got no errors
did
make install
as root,
then as normal user
importing vtk in the python 2.4 interpreter, I got the same error as  
below,

so it looks like the CVS version is broken for libvtkRendering.so
on linux?

Or what..... any clues what to try next?

cheers

Dan
