OK I see. Thank you for a quick answer.

Well, I have tried this already but then I have problems with AC_HAVE_LIB
macro which apparently looks for function "main" in the library and the 
check fails.

It looks like I will compile VTK 6.0 (it can look silly but will be 
the fastest way).

 Just as a side note -- how you guys deal with tools
dependencies -- they just eat my time, especially when I switch to 
a compiler different than gcc or go outside standard packages.
With the above I mean rather large development environment, where 
tools are not just installed but managed -- tested (and test results 
recorded), build with release and debug version, benchmarked, etc.
Is it only my impression that keeping tidy and reliable development 
environment is a Sisyphus work.

Regards,

Roman
