Octaviz, VTK, & Octave CMAKE???

[Labitt, Bruce]

Anyone around get octaviz to build and run?  As pre-requisites one needs
Octave & VTK.  I have managed to get octave running - although with
trouble - on my machine.  Octaviz is supposed to have opengl 3d plotting
for octave.  I can't seem to get it installed.

Part of the problem is that VTK is so abstruse to build.  It uses CMAKE,
which may be the greatest thing since sliced bread - but deviates enough
from the standard configure that I am having difficulty analyzing what
is wrong.  Supposedly I "built VTK" and make did not complain of errors.
Maybe it did complain, but it scrolled by too fast.  However, if I try
an example file, vtk falls over itself and says it cannot find a
library.  Can I pipe the output data stream that would ordinarily go to
the screen to a file?  Would the syntax just be:  

ccmake . | tee cmakevtk.log  ??

make 2>&1 | tee makevtk.log ??

make install | tee makeinstallvtk.log  ??

A ccmake of octaviz also seems to have no errors.  When I do a make of
octaviz I am getting all kinds of vtk related errors.  So umm, any
suggestions?

Thanks
