Hi Olly - That sounds a bit like the roads around here! They are well known for having a patch on top of a patch on top of a patch. I took a stab at changing the loch Makefile manually. It still fails, but now it has yet another message. Here is the last few bits from the compile run. ================== gcc -c -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE -DLOCH -DLXLINUX -I/usr/lib64/wx/include/gtk2- unicode-release-2.8 -I/usr/include/wx-2.8 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 - D_LARGE_FILES -D__WXGTK__ -pthread -o .././loch/img.o img.c c++ -o .././loch/loch -Wall .././loch/lxR2P.o .././loch/lxTR.o .././loch/lxOGLFT.o .././loch/lxSetup.o .././loch/lxRender.o .././loch/lxWX.o .././loch/lxImgIO.o .././loch/lxLRUD.o .././loch/lxFile.o .././loch/lxSTree.o .././loch/lxData.o .././loch/lxMath.o .././loch/lxSView.o .././loch/lxSScene.o .././loch/lxGUI.o .././loch/lxGLC.o .././loch/lxOptDlg.o .././loch/lxAboutDlg.o .././loch/img.o -lwx_gtk2u_gl-2.8 -pthread -Wl,-z,relro -lwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8 - lwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_html-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.8 - lwx_baseu_xml-2.8 -lwx_baseu_net-2.8 -lwx_baseu-2.8 -L/usr/lib/vtk-5.4 - lvtkCommonExecutionModel-6.1 -lvtkCommonDataModel-6.1 -lvtkCommonCore-6.1 - lvtkFiltersCore-6.1 -lvtkFiltersHybrid-6.1 -lvtkIOLegacy-6.1 -lfreetype -lGLU -lpthread -lz -s /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvtkCommonExecutionModel-6.1 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvtkCommonDataModel-6.1 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvtkCommonCore-6.1 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvtkFiltersCore-6.1 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvtkFiltersHybrid-6.1 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvtkIOLegacy-6.1 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [.././loch/loch] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bgee/Installs/therion/loch' make: *** [loch/loch] Error 2 ====================== I noticed a section at the top of the Loch Makefile where it is using some tcl programs to find where vtk is installed. This starts on line 14. On my systems the three tcl programs return data as if vtk 5.4 were installed. The system has no trace of vtk 5.4 left on it. The two directories returned for VTKPATH and VTKLIBPATH do not exist. Will this cause any problems? Thanks - Bill Gee On Monday, December 15, 2014 22:14:30 Olly Betts wrote:

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the patch file vtk6.patch and tried to apply it to the Therion 5.3.15 source tree. It looks like the first part worked but not the second. Here is the output from patch:

If I try to compile this, it goes further than before but still fails while processing loch. It appears to still be looking for vtk libraries in the vtk-5.4 directory.
That's probably just a consequence of the changes to loch/Makefile not getting applied (since that's where those libraries are specified), which is probably because some earlier patch in the huge pile we're now carrying also changed that area of that file.
If you look at loch/Makefile.rej, you can probably make the required changes to loch/Makefile by hand.
Alternatively, applying all the patches in the order given in the series file should work - you can get quilt to do that with:
QUILT_PATCHES=/path/to/debian/patches quilt push -a
