[vtkusers] Build error for vtk-5.10.1

[David Gobbi]

So, this isn't specifically related to VTK anymore, but here are the
things that might be wrong with your system:

- you might be missing the libgl1-mesa-glx package, which
   provides /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1.2

- the links might have been broken during the installation of
   third-party OpenGL drivers (in which case you should
   hunt down all the broken links and fix them as best you can).

If you discover exactly what was wrong, please post your solution
on the list in case other linux users encounter similar problems.

 - David
