[vtkusers] Problems with vtk and matlab

[Corinne Bachmann]

Hi all

I am trying to export data from matlab to a vtk format to be able to
view my data in paraview. It will be a volume with different values to
display.
I was trying the instructions from
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTKMatlab, but this did not work for me. I
got the following answer:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>mex -O -I/usr/local/include/vtk-5.0/ vtkPolyDataRenderer.cpp
-L/usr/local/lib/vtk-5.0 -lvtkFiltering -lvtkRendering

Warning: You are using gcc version "4.2.1".  The earliest gcc version
supported
with mex is "4.0.0".  The latest version tested for use with mex is
"4.2.0".
To download a different version of gcc, visit http://gcc.gnu.org

17.4.1.2 of the C++ standard. Examples include substituting the <X>

the deprecated header <iostream.h>. To disable this warning use
-Wno-deprecated.

    mex: compile of '/opt/usr/matlab/extern/src/mexversion.c' failed.

Do I really need to download an older version of gcc or is there another
way?
Thanks for any help in advance.
