[vtkusers] Rendering Text - vtkTextActor and AddActor2D - Crash

[David Lonie]

It works for me here. That message means that the vtkRenderingFreeType
library isn't being linked to the application. That library provides the
default implementation of the vtkTextRenderer interface.

Can you add the line:

message("VTK_LIBRARIES: ${VTK_LIBRARIES}")

to your CMakeLists.txt, rerun cmake, and send us the output? Also, what
version of VTK is being used?
