[vtkusers] java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: VTKInit ... again

[Jeff Lee]

Did you ldd libvtkFiltering (if vtk5.1) with your LD_LIBRARY_PATH set?
If you get a clean ldd, then you are ok.  If not, ldd will tell you
which dependencies aren't satisfied.  Probably missing libstdc++ or
something like that.
