[vtkusers] Binding vtk library

[Erick andres Perez alday]

Dear All

I'm having problems binding the vtk library 5.8 (or 5.10) with a c++ code in ubuntu 12.04. I previously linked the 5.8 version manually using "-s /usr/lib/libvtkFiltering.so.5.8" when I compiled it. Unfortunatelly, I wipped out my Desktop.  And this is not working anymore. Also, when I download the 5.8 version and installed it, I got:

[  5%] Building C object Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/CMakeFiles/vtkhdf5.dir/H5F.c.o
/home/e/Downloads/VTK/Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/H5F.c: In function ‘H5F_build_actual_name’:

make[2]: *** [Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/CMakeFiles/vtkhdf5.dir/H5F.c.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/CMakeFiles/vtkhdf5.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

So, I installed the ubuntu vtk5-8 package:

libvtk-java, libvtk5-dev, libvtk5-qt4-dev, libvtk5.8, libvtk5.8-qt4, python-vtk, tcl-vtk, vtk-doc, vtk-examples.

But, still doesn't work.

Then, I installed the vtk5-10 version, and everything went well but I still have this binding error:

icc uvmap.cxx -Wno-deprecated -lvtkCommon -lvtkWidgets -lvtkIO  -o uvconvert

                 from /usr/include/vtk-5.8/vtkAbstractArray.h(45),
                 from /usr/include/vtk-5.8/vtkDataArray.h(37),

                 from /usr/include/vtk-5.8/vtkCellArray.h(37),
                 from uvmap.cxx(5):

  #include <vtkstd/string>       // For the superclass.
                                                       ^

compilation aborted for uvmap.cxx (code 4)
make: *** [uvconvert] Error 4

Same error if I linked like #include "vtk-5.8/vtkCellArray.h" or #include "vtk-5.10/vtkCellArray.h"

Any help would be really apreciated.

Best regards
