[vtkusers] Shared library loading error (OpenSUSE 10.1)

[Warren Moore]

I've built vtk 5.0.4 from source (which entailed building tcl/tk and cmake)
on OpenSUSE 10.1, 64-bit. I enabled BUILD_SHARED_LIBS but left VTK_USE_RPATH
disabled, since I planned to move the binaries after they were built.

The problem is this:

./vtk: error while loading shared libraries: libvtkCommonTCL.so.5.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

I do not have root, so it seems my only options center on altering the
environment.  However, my LD_LIBRARY_PATH was empty before I added the lib
directory containing the vtk binaries, which seemed odd.  Changing
LD_LIBRARY_PATH had no effect.

Adding the lib directory to the PATH had no noticeable effect, either.

Does anyone know how to configure the environment to get the loader to find
the shared libraries? I've included an excerpt from "ldd ./vtk" below.

Thanks,
