I've long suspected the same thing, but a few weeks ago while talking to Andy he mentioned that CMake/VTK had support for cross-compiling which should allow it. He wasn't 100% either, but I figured someone here would be :)

Randall<br><br> From what I understand, catamount doesn't allow any forking, threads or<br>ports, so you'd have to build vtk with a lot of bits "commented out" or<br>disabled. I am told that an upgrade (of our XT3) at some point in the
<br>future might relax these restrictions. I'm not an expert at these OS<br>specific issues, but I know someone who is....(so I can ask).<br><br>JB<br><br><br>> Has anyone had any luck/experience compiling VTK for use on
