I can confirm that VTK 4.2 builds on Linux without any modifications.
However, I'm not sure about gcc 4.0 and VTK. If you suspect a problem
with gcc 4.0 you may want to try gcc 3.3 - which should be avaliable for
Fedora.

I notice below that you are linking statically to VTK. Is this what you
want to do? Most people use dynamic linking to VTK. If you use static
linking then it is your responsibility to explicitly link all libraries
in a dependecy tree - irrespective of whether you use then directly or
indirectly.  That is you must explicitly link your libraries / objects
in your makefile or write the code in your CMakeList (if you're using
Cmake).

Unless you have a good reason for using static linking I recomend dynamic
linking which should resolve your problem. With dynamic linking it is
only necessary to link against the libraries that your library / object
uses and not the whole dependecy tree.
