Hi Olly - I finally got some time today to spend on this. It is still not working, but the needle has been moved! Once again I get a different error. I think progress is being made ...
On my Fedora 21 system vtk is version 6.1.0. It is installed in /usr/lib64/vtk and /usr/include/vtk. When I ran make with these two paths specified on the command line, I got the same result as below. Six libraries with names ending in "-6.1" could not be found. I modified the loch Makefile as shown here. I used hard-coded pathnames for VTKPATH and VTKLIBPATH. I also remove "-6.1" from the library names in the VTKLIBS line. ============= # VTKVERSION = 5.4 VTKVERSION = $(shell tclsh ./getvtkver.tcl version) # VTKPATH = /usr/local/include/vtk-$(VTKVERSION) # VTKPATH = $(shell tclsh ./getvtkver.tcl incpath) VTKPATH = /usr/include/vtk # VTKLIBPATH = /usr/local/lib/vtk-$(VTKVERSION) # VTKLIBPATH = $(shell tclsh ./getvtkver.tcl libpath) VTKLIBPATH = /usr/lib64/vtk VTKLIBS = -lvtkHybrid -lvtkImaging -lvtkIO -lvtkGraphics -lvtkFiltering - lvtkCommon -lvtkjpeg -lvtkpng -lvtkzlib -lvtksys -lfreetype POSTMAKE = STRIPFLAG = -s [... snip ...] # PLATFORM DEBIAN CXX = c++ CC = gcc POBJECTS = lxR2P.o ## VTKLIBS = -lvtkHybrid -lvtkImaging -lvtkIO -lvtkGraphics -lvtkFiltering - lvtkCommon -lfreetype VTKLIBS = -lvtkCommonExecutionModel -lvtkCommonDataModel -lvtkCommonCore - lvtkFiltersCore -lvtkFiltersHybrid -lvtkIOLegacy -lfreetype ## CXXPFLAGS = -DLXLINUX $(shell wx-config --cxxflags) -Wno-deprecated $(shell freetype-config --cflags) -I$(VTKPATH) CXXPFLAGS = -DLXLINUX $(shell wx-config --cxxflags) $(shell freetype-config -- cflags) -I$(VTKPATH) CCPFLAGS = -DLXLINUX $(shell wx-config --cflags) LXLIBDIR = linux PLIBS = $(shell wx-config --libs --gl-libs) -L$(VTKLIBPATH) $(VTKLIBS) -lGLU - lpthread -lz LXPLATFORM = LINUX ==================== This runs almost all the way through. At the end it complains about an undefined symbol reference.

Now it is something to do with libpng16.
