I need to compute distance between cylinder and a point,how can i do this?

Check out GeomAPI_ProjectPointOnSurf::NearestPoint(). It should be helpful not only in your case for cylinder but any surface.

double CylDist(const gp_Cylinder& cyl, const gp_Pnt& pnt)
{
double u, v;
ElSLib::Parameters(cyl, pnt, u, v);
return pnt.Distance(ElSLib::Value(u, v, cyl));
}

Thank you!it is working!=)

This works equally well and is more generic:

double CylDist(const Handle(Geom_Surface)& cyl, const gp_Pnt& pnt)
{
GeomAPI_ProjectPointOnSurf PPS(pnt, cyl);
return PPS.LowerDistance();
}

Only issue that needs to be looked at is performance.. don't know the effect on performance.

have you passed libTKGeomAlgo.so to your linker?

use these libraries:
TKernel.lib TKMath.lib TKG3d.lib TKGeomAlgo.lib TKGeomBase.lib

I have attached a simple VS2010 Express solution that I made for testing both the methods discussed above, hopefully you should find it helpful.
