hi all

i am a newbie to vtk. I am using vtk 5.2.
while compiling a QT application using vtk, i keep on getting
undefined reference error for vtk classes and methods

in my program iam trying only to create a QVTKWidget object
but i am facing a load of undefined references

i have recompiled vtk many times tweaking the build settings in cmake
but to no avail
i even tried using vtk 5.0.4 but the same problem comes there too
i have tried on both windows and linux but the problem doesnt go away

here is the error message in full

'class renwin' has no member named 'show'mingw32-make.exe: ***
[Objects/MingW/trialFrm.o] Error 1Execution terminated


this error is from my try with windows using dev-cpp and mingw
on linux i tried with KDevelop

also this is the long form of the error message
if i have only added the lib and include folders
then the error is only about undefined reference to the QVTKWidget construtor
but if i add all the libraries inside the lib folder for linking i get
this long error

please help me i have seen some people on the mailing list having
similar problem
but no solutions
i have been stuck at this problem for the last 2 weeks

i have tried everything i could think of, am i missing some linking
option or something similar

any help would be much appreciated

thanks
