Just to clarify what Bill is saying  -  When you change a header (.h) fil=
e you need
to recompile all of the source files that depend on that header.  The vis=
5d Makefiles
do not do this automatically - go to the top level directory  and run =B4=
make clean=B4
then run make again and that should take care of it.

Note also that the vis5d+ distribution does define automatic dependencies=
, vis5d+ is
available from http://vis5d+.sf.net
