Thanks for the speedy reply.  Now it gets farther, but not all the way.

        /usr/bin/xlC -DCMAKE_ROOT_DIR='"/home/herc/surf/CMake-1-2"' -g
-DCMAKE_HAS_AUTOCONF -I/home/herc/surf/CMake-1-2/Source -c
cmCableClassSet.cxx -o cmCableClassSet.o
"cmCableClassSet.cxx", line 226.30: 1540-0300 (S) The "private" member
"class ElementCombinationGenerator::Portion" cannot be accessed.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

The declaration in the header shows the inheritance as being public, but
for some reason it looks like the StringPortion class sees Portion as
private.  I tried making StringPortion and ElementCombinationGenerator
friends of Portion, but no luck...
