Linux installation procedure

[Peter Blicher]

I got a similar error when I compiled.  I assume you are using a relatively
new version of gcc, which is stricter on ansi compliance.

When I got this error, I looked at the nightly build at that time, and the
source of the problem had been eliminated.

However, to fix this it was enough to just go to the places where it occurs
and insert an explicit cast.  I don't have the code handy right now, but if you
can't figure out where to make the change, let me know and I'll find the spot
later today and send it to you.

   Greetings, 

   I downloaded the stock release of VTK2.4, fixed up the user.make, and
   tried to compile. Configured to use every option except for Python and
   Java,  on attempted compilation I got the following errors, about one
   hour, thirty minutes into the compile:


   c++  -g -O2 -fPIC -D_HP_NO_FAST_MACROS -DHAVE_LIMITS_H -DHAVE_UNISTD_H -I.
