[vtkusers] vtk: error while loading shared libraries

[kdsfinger at gmail.com]

hi, there

I just installed the vtk in my fc3 linux box and here is what I got when
type "vtk mace.tcl":

vtk: error while loading shared libraries: libvtkCommonTCL.so.5.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

I searched google for the problem and found the following:

Shouldn't lib be in /use/local/lib makes more sense :))

Make sure also that this path is in either :
- /etc/ld.so.conf
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH

you can also run :
$/sbin/ldconfig -v -n /usr/local/lib

I've put the /usr/local/lib in the /etc/ld.so.conf and I also did the

$/sbin/ldconfig -v -n /usr/local/lib

but still no luck. I checked the /usr/local/lib and
libvtkCommonTCL.so.5.0 is linked to libvtkCommonTCL.so.5.0.0 there.

Your kindly help is highly appreciated. Thanks ahead!
