[vtkusers] Using vtk with Wish85

[Chris Volpe ARA/SED]

Thanks, David. I had tried it without the "vtk" at the end originally, and added it out of desperation. Neither worked. But, on a hunch, I thought the space I had in the build directory path ("VTK 5.6") was problematic. That turns out to have been the problem, or rather, the first problem. I renamed the directory, and rebuilt from scratch (after two failed attempts to rebuild from less-than-scratch, one of which included deleting everything CMake-related in the build dir, to no avail), and now I get the following:

(system32) 1 % package require vtk
couldn't change working directory to "D:/Volpe/VTK5.6/bin/RelWithDebInfo": no such file or directory
attempt to provide package vtkCommonTCL 5.6 failed: no version of package vtkCommonTCL provided
attempt to provide package vtkcommon 5.6 failed: no version of package vtkcommon provided
attempt to provide package vtk 5.6 failed: no version of package vtk provided
(system32) 2 %

Note that I did a Debug build, and it's looking for RelWithDebInfo. So now I'm building RelWithDebInfo, though I'm wondering if the wrapping is hard-coded to use that build. It seems that it should work with whatever build I'm using. Is there an environment variable somewhere that I'm missing?

thanks,

-Chris
