Hi John and Vasileios, Thanks for looking into this. I get the same error for many different versions of VTK (including 5.8), so the problem isn't with the VTK version. I might have found the root of the problem with linking. In libmesh version 0.9.4, the link test with VTK looks like this:
configure:33738: mpiicpc -o conftest -I/apps/rhel6/vtk/5.10.1//VTK/include/vtk-5.10/ conftest.cpp -lvtkIO -lvtkCommon -lvtkFiltering -lvtkImaging *-Wl,-rpath,/apps/rhel6/vtk/5.10.1//VTK/lib/vtk-5.10/ -L/apps/rhel6/vtk/5.10.1//VTK/lib/vtk-5.10/* -lvtkIO -lvtkCommon -lvtkFiltering -lvtkImaging >&5 This succeeds on my machine. However, in 0.9.5, it's missing the -Wl,-rpath option, which is why I think it fails: configure:35934: mpiicpc -o conftest -I/apps/rhel6/vtk/5.10.1//VTK/include/vtk-5.10/ conftest.cpp -lvtkIO -lvtkCommon -lvtkFiltering -lvtkImaging -L/apps/rhel6/vtk/5.10.1//VTK/lib/vtk-5.10/ -lvtkIO -lvtkCommon -lvtkFiltering -lvtkImaging >&5 ld: warning: libvtkDICOMParser.so.5.10, needed by /apps/rhel6/vtk/5.10.1//VTK/lib/vtk-5.10//libvtkIO.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) ld: warning: libvtkNetCDF.so.5.10, needed by /apps/rhel6/vtk/5.10.1//VTK/lib/vtk-5.10//libvtkIO.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) . . Is there an option in configure script that I can use to enable -rpath for the linker?
