[vtkusers] Solaris Compilation error....

[Audrius Stundzia]

Hi Marietta,

I ran into the same problem on my sun sparcstation running solaris 6.

>From what I recall this was a sun specific problem with their X11 libraries 
not satisfying part of the C++ ansi standard.

My quick and dirty solution was to add -fpermissive to the CXX flag
in the vtk user.make file.

Hope this works for you.

Regards,

Audrius
