VTK Undefined Reference

I installed VTK 7.1.1 as suggested here.

I'm working on a new project with the following code:

#include <iostream>
#include <vtk-7.1/vtkImageData.h>
#include <vtk-7.1/vtkMetaImageReader.h>
#include <vtk-7.1/vtkSmartPointer.h>
#include <vtk-7.1/vtkRenderer.h>
#include <vtk-7.1/vtkImageActor.h>
#include <vtk-7.1/vtkImageMapper3D.h>
#include <vtk-7.1/vtkRenderWindow.h>
#include <vtk-7.1/vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h>

int main()
{
    vtkSmartPointer<vtkMetaImageReader> reader =  vtkSmartPointer<vtkMetaImageReader>::New();
    reader->SetFileName("Test.mhd");
    reader->Update();
    std::cout<<"Hello World";

    return 0;
}

I am using the following to compile:

g++ -g -Wall -I /usr/local/include -L /usr/local/lib -o main main.cpp

However, I keep getting errors such as the following:

/usr/local/include/vtk-7.1/vtkSmartPointer.h:29: error: undefined reference to `vtkSmartPointerBase::~vtkSmartPointerBase()'

Any idea as to why? I think it might be the linking maybe?

Your assumption is correct the linker command is missing the required VTK libraries. Look in the following link for more details VTK in Makefiles.

For instance

g++ -g -Wall -I /usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lvtkCommon
 -lvtkFiltering -lvtkImaging -lvtkGraphics -lvtkGenericFiltering -lvtkIO
 -lvtkRendering -lvtkVolumeRendering

To ease building your VTK applications you could use CMake
