It compiled fine for me on my RH6.2 system.  I'm pretty certain I
installed a newer version of Mesa than came with RH 6.2.  rpm -q Mesa
returns Mesa-3.2-1.

You might try letting us know the full configure options you used and
what your user.make file contains - does it point to the correct spot
for Mesa?

I can't reproduce that.

Sorry, I can't be of more help, but I at least wanted to let you know
it may be a configuration issue on your setup rather than a general
VTK or Mesa bug.
