[vtkusers] How to compile tutorial example?

[X Z]

James,

I realized that you did placed '-L' and '-I' options and they seemed to be 
consistent.  So your Makefile should work.  I would try linking only to 
vtkCommon, vtkGraphics, vtkFiltering, and vtkRendering and see if it works.

Also make sure the same version of compiler is used for installation.
