I'm a newbie to vtk and I want to use the vtkCharts library. In both Linux and Windows, I compiled vtk and managed to work with the most of the examples.
The only troublesome examples arre those including the chart library, such as the one in the link:
When I compile, in Visual Studio it gives some linking errors. A segment is below. I didn't forget to include the vtkCharts library.

In Code::Blocks , using GCC, it gives errors like this:

I'm using vtk 5-6 in both platforms. I wonder the reasons why this error might occur.
Thank you.
