[Octaviz-help] Segmentation fault running vtk_*

[Paulo J. <pau...@gm...>]

Hi
as another gentoo user also posted last year, I also have seg fault 
problems when running vtk stuff.
I'm using sabayon linux, gentoo based distro, gcc 4.1.1, octave 2.1.73, 
vtk 5.0.3, octaviz 0.4.6.
I'm also using qt 4.3.2 and 3.3.8-r4 and apparently vtk got configured 
to use qt4, although it required 3.3.8-r4.
Probably something related with it's ebuild.

I'm guessing that it is some binary incompatibility, can anyone give me 
a suggestion?
Thank you.

As for ebuilds I modified the ebuild that cames with the source.
It just needs the name modified, and the command:

        cd ${WORKDIR}/${PN}     #heck it's a hack

added to the begining of both src_compile and src_install functions.

Maybe it would be helpful if I show an example. Here it goes.

Octaviz requires octave-2.9.9 or greater.  I recommend using 
octave-2.9.15 from the science overlay.  If you are not familiar with 
overlays, emerge layman and read the help.
