[vtkusers] Runtime error with wrapped TCL applications

[Goodwin Lawlor]

Hi Béatrice,

My guesses are:

1. The VTK lib files are in a slightly different directory on the 2nd 
computer.

2. There is a VTK lib dependency missing on the 2nd computer... ie, the 
VTK libs need to a load a dll that they can't find.

Its easy enough to verify 1. and you need either "depend.exe" or 
"dumpbin.exe" to examine the dependencies of the VTK libs.

A google search throws this free application up that may work too: 
http://www.dependencywalker.com/

As an aside, TclPro is the "old" way of wrapping tcl applications. 
Tclkit and Starpacks are the way things are done now (you may be tied to 
TclPro though). I've a VTK extended Tclkit available for free here:

There's also an example of how to wrap an app.
