The 'draw3d' function defined in the 'draw' package for maxima is failing.
Before I file a bug report, I'd like to find out what package has the bug.
(Or find out if the bug be user error. :-)

I am running Debian unstable with maxima, vtk6, and tcl-vtk6 installed,
according to documentation here: http://riotorto.users.sourceforge.net/vtk/

The error output (pasted below) refers to a file that does not exist:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvtkCommonCoreTCL-6.3.so

Using 'dpkg -S libvtkCommonCoreTCL', I find
libvtk6.3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvtkCommonCoreTCL-6.3.so.6.3.0
libvtk6.3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvtkCommonCoreTCL-6.3.so.6.3

It looks to me as though there is something at least a bit broken about the
names of the libraries installed by the libvtk6.3 Debian package, but I'm
not an expert in library naming.

If you have an idea of what I might do to rectify the situation, then
please respond to all, because I am not a subscriber to the list.

Anyway, here is the error that I saw inside maxima:
