[ITK-users] ITK 4.8 build problem

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Tim,

The try_compile checks ("Looking for C++ include tr1/type_traits",
etc), occur on the first CMake configuration run, then are cached for
efficiency on further runs.  Therefore, make sure that
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-stdlib=libstdc++ is set before the initial run.

HTH,
Matt
