[vtkusers] Fwd: Building VTK: undefined reference to `vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow::SetDisplayId(_XDisplay*)

[pat marion]

It's a CMake + Ubuntu 11.04 issue.  In the latest version of Ubuntu (Debian
actually) they included multiarch support.  Many libraries are no longer
located in /usr/lib, now they are in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.  This causes
cmake to fail when it searches for things like X11.

To solve this, I edited UnixPaths.cmake in my cmake 2.8.4 install and
appended the path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to the variables
CMAKE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH and CMAKE_PLATFORM_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES.


Here is the cmake bug report:
