[Paraview] Build Errors

[KLemmons at beckman.com]

Hello,
  I'm working on getting ParaView installed, as per a previous posting, by 
compiling it myself with MPI to run across our cluster.  I got the 2.6 
source, configured it, and made it... and the build failed with the error 
below.  I have since tried reconfiguring it with different libraries 
(with/without things like ffmpeg) and with VTK both MPI enabled and 
disabled, and the error is still the same.  I looked into the source, and 
was unable to determine a unique source for the errors, and looking 
through the expert configuration options did not lead me to find anything 
in CMake that helped.

The compiler I'm using is:
mpicc for 1.2.7 (release) of : 2005/11/04 11:54:51
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/3.4.6/specs
Configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,pascal 
--prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib 
--with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/3.4 --enable-shared 
--with-system-zlib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext 
--program-suffix=-3.4 --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu 
--enable-libstdcxx-debug --with-tune=i686 i486-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.6 (Debian 3.4.6-5)

and I have also tried this with mpicc using gcc 4.1 as well.

  One thing that I found really odd was that once I set mpicc/mpicxx as 
the compilers, I was unable to change them, either with environment 
variables or by changing it in CMake... as soon as I [c]onfigure, it 
changes them back on me.  I was able to use the mpic[c|xx] frontend 
scripts to switch back and forth between the gcc versions.

Here is my build error, as promised:
