[vtkusers] VTK Configuration Errors

[Luca Nicotra]

Hi,
CMake returns me a no ending list of errors when I try to configure VTK
4.4 in Linux. Does anyone know any configuration option I might need to
change?
I already tried to set the MAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATABILITY to 1.4 or less but
it doesn't work

Thank you

Here I cut and paste the first part of the errors CMake displays:

CMAKE_WORDS_BIGENDIAN that has not been defined. Some

this you might need to set the cache
 value of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to 1.4 or less. If you are writing
a CMakeList file, (or have already set
 CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATABILITY to 1.4 or less) then you probably need to
include a CMake module to test for the
 feature this variable defines.
