Problems compiling VTK 3.1

[Ken Martin]

I have a feeling this is because you are not including OpenGL or Mesa 
support. In such a case you would get that compiler error. Eventually 
though if you try to render anything you'll not have any renderer's to 
use.  It is still a good bug though since some people use VTK as a 
visualization processing server without using mesa or opengl.
