[vtk-developers] Compilation error hdf5

[Lonni Besançon]

Hello everyone,

I used to be able to build my android examples just fine. But since I
rebuilt vtk I seem to have a problem.
I get the following errors:

I guess I'm not the only one to whom it's happening since I saw this post as
well:  http://www.vtk.org/pipermail/vtk-developers/2013-August/014195.html
<http://www.vtk.org/pipermail/vtk-developers/2013-August/014195.html>  
However, no solution is provided in this post.

Would you happen to know what's responsible for that error and how I can fix
it (or at the very least bypass it)?

Thanks in advance
