Re: new release of Octaviz

[Søren Hauberg]

Hi,
  Thanks for making this release! I'm using it on ubuntu edgy with 
octave 2.9.9+.
It required some work to get it going on my machine so I thought I'd share:

1) First of all I had to compile my own version of vtk-5 since
   the one in ubuntu is broken.
2) Then I had to edit (in $VTK_PREFIX/lib/vtk-5.0) vtkCommonKit.cmake
   and vtkRenderingKit.cmake and remove all references to the vtk
   build directory.
3) Then I had to edit Common/octaviz.cc in the octaviz source directory.
   I had to change line 188 from
     return reinterpret_cast<octave_uint64_t>(vtk_pointer);
   to
     return reinterpret_cast<uint64_t>(vtk_pointer);

Things still don't work on 2.9.9+ because octaviz is using all_va_args. 
I'll send a patch for this...

Søren
