My email is still black-and-white text. A diff would have been rather more use :-)


But I presume you are saying, replace:
>    #ifeq ($(VTKV6),1)
> 
>    #VTKLIBS = -lvtkCommonExecutionModel-$(VTKVERSION)
>    -lvtkCommonDataModel-$(VTKVERSION) -lvtkCommonCore-$(VTKVERSION)
>    -lvtkFiltersCore-$(VTKVERSION) -lvtkFiltersHybrid-$(VTKVERSION)
>    -lvtkIOLegacy-$(VTKVERSION) -lfreetype -lpng -ljpeg
> 
>    #else
> 
>    #VTKLIBS = -lvtkHybrid -lvtkImaging -lvtkIO -lvtkGraphics -lvtkFiltering
>    -lvtkCommon -lfreetype
> 
>    #endif

with:

>    VTKLIBS = -lvtkCommonExecutionModel -lvtkCommonDataModel -lvtkCommonCore
>    -lvtkFiltersCore -lvtkFiltersHybrid -lvtkIOLegacy -lfreetype -lpng -ljpeg

?

Thanks for the info. Seems that debian-based and fedora-based distros
have used a different library-naming scheme. 

Obviously a smarter patch would be needed to let it build on debian
_and_ fedora based systems.

Mostly what all this shows is that therion could really use a proper
build system like cmake, as then it could just use pkgconfig or
built-in cmake findpackage runes which should deal with distro
packaging variation like this.
