Dear All, 

I reported problems with configuring MOAB with VTK.

Well, I have installed latest ParaView version with 
vtkCommonCore library and all development files.

However I still cannot force MOAB to configure properly with VTK.

The first problem is with VTK_LIB_SUFFIX in configure.ac at line
768 -- it seems to be hard wired to some value and ignore command line
settings. Removing it I can start configuration but then get the following
errors:

checking for /home/femdk/install/include/vtk/vtkUnstructuredGrid.h... yes
checking for main in -lvtkCommonCore... no
./configure: line 36587: ac_cv_lib_vtkCommonCore=ac_cv_lib_vtkCommonCore:
command not found
checking for main in -lvtkCommonCore... (cached) no
./configure: line 36587: ac_cv_lib_vtkCommonCore=ac_cv_lib_vtkCommonCore:
command not found
checking for main in -lvtkCommonCore... (cached) no
./configure: line 36587: ac_cv_lib_vtkCommonCore=ac_cv_lib_vtkCommonCore:
command not found
checking for main in -lvtkCommonCore... (cached) no
./configure: line 36587: ac_cv_lib_vtkCommonCore=ac_cv_lib_vtkCommonCore:
command not found
checking for main in -lvtkCommonCore... (cached) no
./configure: line 36587: ac_cv_lib_vtkCommonCore=ac_cv_lib_vtkCommonCore:
command not found
configure: error: VTK libraries not found

My environment is :
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61
automake (GNU automake) 1.10.1

I have noticed that MOAB has also CMake configuration though I haven't tried
it yet. My question is is the autotools base compilation supposed to work?
BTW, without VTK MOAB compiles fine.

Regards,

Roman
