Hello, while moving to VTK 6 please take into account that we are preparing a transition to VTK 6.3.
Compared to VTK 6.2 version 6.3 removes some deprecated macros and removes the module "vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL". You should be able to catch most of the problems related to macros by compiling with VTK_LEGACY_REMOVE defined. VTK 6.3 is available from experimental. Best, Gert
