[Gmsh] Compile Gmsh with OpenCascade support

[Martin Vymazal]

Hi Dave,

  thanks for the prompt response. I tried to do what you suggested and  
indeed I can configure gmsh with OpenCascade support. The point is  
that after the compilation finishes, an attempt to run gmsh gives me  
the following error:

gmsh: error while loading shared libraries: libTKSTEP.so.0: cannot  
open shared object file: No such file or directory

The library libTKSTEP.so.0 exists in ${MY_OPENCASCADE_BUILD}/lib/,  
where ${MY_OPENCASCADE_BUILD} is the directory in which I compiled  
OpenCascade (version 6.3)

I tried to run cmake both with

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:string="${MY_OPENCASCADE_BUILD}"

and with

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:string="${MY_OPENCASCADE_BUILD}/lib" ,

but the error remains the same. Just to be sure, by  
"/path/to/opencascade/" you mean the path to the compiled OpenCascade,  
not the path to the source tree, right?

Best,

   Martin Vymazal
