I think I know what is wrong but I'll need your help to confirm my 
hypothesis.  Please go to the build tree and run "cmake ." to 
reconfigure the project.  I bet the setting in vtkConfigure.h will 
magically change and the macro will be defined.

Let me know whether that works.  If it does then I should be able to fix 
things so the problem does not happen again.

Thanks,
