It looks like the compiler is thinking you're defining an external
function named 'VTK_DATA_ARRAY_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATE' with an argument of
type 'VTK_DATA_ARRAY_TEMPLATE_TYPE' (or it may be empty and have no
arguments).

My guess is that VTK_DATA_ARRAY_TEMPLATE_TYPE is being defined somewhere
it shouldn't be (outside the vtkDataArray*.cxx files). Is
VTK_NO_EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION being defined anywhere? Can you
tell what line 422 is expanding to after the preprocessor?
