[Therion] Therion 5.4.1 on Fedora 25 - Compile fails in loch

[Bill Gee]

Hello everyone -

Once again I am wrestling with the ancient problem of getting loch to compile 
on Fedora Linux.  Below is the sequence of errors that I get.  I think I can 
modify the Therion Makefile so that it skips loch, but I would rather not do 
that.

Some versions ago I figured out a set of changes to the loch Makefile that 
allowed it to compile.  The listing below shows those changes.  They do not 
work anymore, as seen by the compiler error.

In the second set of errors it is saying that some libraries cannot be found.  
I do not find any files by these exact names.  They probably have some 
extension, perhaps .so?  But I do not find any files with that extension 
either.  vtkIO.so does not exist.

Two questions for the group:

1) Exactly what files are missing?  I very likely have them, just not where 
the compiler is looking.  If I can find them, maybe I can add something to 
VTKLIBPATH.

2) Is there an easier way to deal with this?  Why is it that Fedora always has 
problems?  It should Just Work.
