[vtk-developers] New build error in 64 bits

[David Cole]

By very recently, they mean as in the email that started this thread:

The error is caused by a recent change in VTK:
<http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/IO/vtkDataReader.cxx?
r1=1.143&r2=1.144>

Line 1167 and 1187:
vtkTypeInt64 *ptr = ((vtkTypeInt64Array *)array)-
>WritePointer(0,numTuples*numComp);
vtkTypeUInt64 *ptr = ((vtkTypeUInt64Array *)array)-
>WritePointer(0,numTuples*numComp);
