[vtkusers] Fwd: undefined reference problem while linking

[Shailender Kanwar]

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 a part of the error message

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 4 weeks
