[vtkusers] Shared libraries build on SUSE 10.0 64bit

[toon Huysmans]

Hello agian,

It seems that I was able to resolve the problem myself.  The problem was 
caused by make trying to symlink libvtksys.so.5.1.0 to libvtksys.so.  This 
could not succeed because the build directory resided on a FAT32 partition 
which, i guess, does not support symlinking or at least the implementation 
on my system has troubles with it. Using a build directory on my ReiserFS 
partition solved the problem!

Is this a bug or an unconvenience?

Greeting,

Toon.
