Hi David,

I went through the instructions step by step to build the Cone example
(Tutorial directory - Step 1) but this is the error I received :

[100%] Built target Cone2

ERROR: In /home/vm308/src/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 404

Segmentation fault

Could you suggest what I could do or what could be the problem  ?

Thanks in advance,
Vikram.
