problems on AIX

[Dave Semeraro]

I am trying to use vtk on an IBM RS6000. I would like to contact people on
the list with experience on this platform. In particular are there any tips
on building and use that one should know about. I was able to build vtk
after editing the make files by hand. configure left in the -ptall and
no_prelink
flags (sgi) and things built after I removed them. This indicates to me that
configure must have been confused somehow. Looking at the log it seems to
have only gotten as far as the pthread test.. but I am rambling. I was able
to execute some c++ tests (all that I tried worked actually). I ran into
trouble
when I tried to create an isosurface for a 6 million cell dataset. Segfaults
in vtkDataSetAttributes::InterpolateTuple. The line:
double *to = ((vtkDoubleArray *)toData)->WritePointer(idx,numComp);
seems to return a null pointer. toData is a vtkDataArray. No error message
is generated (by vtk). it just segfaults when it tries to assign a value to
*to. So that is where it stands so far. Any help, tips etc would be
appreciated.

Thanks, 
Dave
