[Paraview] No native data type can represent...

[Weiguang Guan]

Hello,

I am pretty sure that
   CHECK_TYPE_SIZE(int      CMAKE_SIZEOF_INT)
   CHECK_TYPE_SIZE(long     CMAKE_SIZEOF_LONG)
   CHECK_TYPE_SIZE("void*"  CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P)
   CHECK_TYPE_SIZE(char     CMAKE_SIZEOF_CHAR)
   CHECK_TYPE_SIZE(short    CMAKE_SIZEOF_SHORT)
   CHECK_TYPE_SIZE(float    CMAKE_SIZEOF_FLOAT)
   CHECK_TYPE_SIZE(double   CMAKE_SIZEOF_DOUBLE)
in ParaView3/VTK/CMake/CMakeBackwardCompatibilityC.cmake failed on Linux 
ws21 2.6.9-42.9hp.XCsmp #1 SMP Sun Mar 11 14:04:29 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 
x86_64 GNU/Linux. The compiler is gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 
3.4.6-8).

I am desperate for a help/hint/suggestion... Thank you in advance!
