Gabriele -

It's not a bug - it seems like it has been left out on purpose since
vtkOBJWriter does not exist. We'll leave it to the experts to explain why,
but it seems to me that OBJ is a very commonly used format that it would be
convenient to be able to read and write to.

I'd say you have to change your PATH to reflect the new location of your vtk
libraries, are you using window or linux? In linux you'd put something like
this in your ~/.bashrc :

export VTK_DIR="/home/your_user_name/bin/VTK"

I don't know why the linking errors would be openGL specific though. Can you
show us the exact errors you are getting?

Thanks,

David
