VTK Fails to Build in Hashdist on Ubuntu 15.10.

0 votes

The issue I am having turns out to be a compile time error while building VTK in the hashdist install. Hashdist gives the following error:

[vtk] Building vtk/biiwnagd4q6q, follow log with: [vtk] tail -f /home/erich/.hashdist/tmp/vtk-biiwnagd4q6q-4/_hashdist/build.log
[vtk|ERROR] Command '[u'/bin/bash', '_hashdist/build.sh']' returned non-zero exit status 1
[vtk|ERROR] command failed (code=1); raising

Then the CMakeError.log for vtk has the following errors:

CheckFunctionExists.c:(.text+0x15): undefined reference to glXGetProcAddressARB' CheckFunctionExists.c:(.text+0x15): undefined reference toglXGetProcAddress'
