[vtkusers] Problem Installing vtk on RHEL 6 with ATI graphics card

[sankhesh jhaveri]

Hi,

I am trying to install VTK on Red Hat Linux v6 with an ATI graphics card.
I have the ATI drivers installed and glxinfo gives me a value of 1 for
"direct rendering". The ATI Catalyst shows that I have OpenGL version -
3.3.10750 Compatibility Profile Context.

First of all, running CMake on VTK gave me an error that
/usr/include/GL/glx.h could not be read. I checked and found that I have
glxATI.h and glATI.h instead of glx.h and gl.h respectively. I created
symbolic links respectively which got rid of the CMake error. However, when
I tried to build VTK, it gave me a bunch of errors:

Please tell me if there is another workaround to installing VTK with ATI
OpenGL drivers.

Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated.
