Compilation error

[Seshan, Viswanathan (MED,ATC TKY JP )]

Hi,

I am new to VTK, and know nothing of C++. I am trying to compile and build
VTK on a Sun Ultra-60, running Solaris 2.6. After many false starts, I
managed to get "make" to run for a couple of hours, before it stopped with
the following message:

/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC -g -DVTK_WORDS_BIGENDIAN -DVTK_USE_PTHREADS -pto
-D_HP_NO_FAST_MACROS -DHAVE_LIMITS_H -DHAVE_UNISTD_H -I. -I./../common

"./tkAppInit.cxx", line 55: Error: Trying to take the address of the

"./tkAppInit.cxx", line 195: Warning: String literal converted to char* in

2 Error(s) and 2 Warning(s) detected.
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'tkAppInit.o'
Current working directory is /export/home/vtk312/tcl
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'build_tcl'

Any and all help will be greatly appreceiated! Thank you.
