[vtkusers] VTK compile error: gcc 3.32, Solaris 10

Tue Oct 21 09:22:55 EDT 2008

Hello Stephen,

I think you actually have OpenGL because I found the following lines
in your CMakeCache.txt:

//Path to a file.
OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include

//Path to a library.
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libGL.so

//Path to a library.
OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libGLU.so

To be sure, you can try to see if you have glxinfo.
$ which glxinfo
and run it

$ glxinfo

and also find the shared libraries it depends on:
$ ldd `which glxinfo`

__ GLXextFuncPtr is probably defined in glxext.h. There is one in
VTK/Utilities/ParseOGLExt/headers/ but in the system it should in
/usr/include or /usr/X11R6/ .
