[vtkusers] Build error for vtk-5.10.1

Tue Oct 7 21:03:20 EDT 2014

Problem resolved.
Basically, the problem occurred because I used third party drivers (from
amd.com) to install my AMD graphics card. Most Ubuntu forums recommend that
you install repository drivers from the "Additional Drivers" tab/option in
Ubuntu Settings. Third party drivers apparently somehow
destroy/damage/corrupt the libGL.so link.

It is probably possible to somehow repair/reinstall libgl.so and other
relevant files, but in my case, I did a clean install of Ubuntu, and then
installed the drivers from "Additional Drivers". After that, VTK building
and installation gave me no problems.
