There are two possibilities here. The first test you can do is from visual
studio try right clicking on vtkAbstractMapperClientServer.h, it should be
in the vtkCommonCS target under the header files folder. Right clicking will
give you a menu with a Compile option. Try that option. If the file compiles
correctly then the problem lies with visual studio 6. VS6 has a problem
handling large projects with many custom commands. We do have a vs6
dashboard but our path is a little shorter so maybe a shorter path would
solve the problem for you. The second possibility is that we have a problem
with the specific path you are using. That is less likely but still
possible, We have a vs6 dashboard with a space in the path but maybe the .
and - cause some problems.

Either way let me know how the one file .h compile goes. If that works fine
it is probably the path length.

Thanks
