[vtkusers] VTK startup problems

[Bertwim van Beest]

Thank you very much for your answer. I now can run all the examples!

I am still puzzled by the vtk-directory structure.
QUESTION: Are all the include files (*.h) supposed to reside in a single
directory?
          I assume this is the case. Could somebody provide a directory
listing of all the required .h files? Mine apparently is incomplete... I
can't compile any vtk-example myself, because of include files that are
not found. Yet I have followed the *precise* installation instructions. 

QUESTION: is a 'make install' required? The README.html doesn't say
so...


Regards, 
Bertwim
