How did you build it? I get a warning about a patch offset of two lines,
but that's it.

The next problem is that the path to VTK has changed (from
/usr/lib/vtk-5.0 to /usr/lib/vtk-5.2). Changing this in debian/rules
starts the build, but it seems some internals of VTK have changed.

Spending much time on Octaviz is probably not worth the effort, there's
no upstream development of it anymore.
