And one last thing, on Linux x86_64 can I use the Linux-i386 cmake ?
There seems to be an issue with load_command:

Running CMake to regenerate build system...
-- Loading VTK CMake commands
CMake Error at /usr/local/lib/vtk/CMake/vtkLoadCMakeExtensions.cmake:7

I'll recompile cmake 2.6.0 and check if recompilation fix the issue.
