[vtkusers] VTK nightly build issue

[Joshua A Foster]

I downloaded the nightly version January 20 via CVS and got the latest 
CMake binaries for Linux (1.8.3).  When I run ccmake, I get the 
following error:
 
CMake Error: An attempt was made to access a variable: 
CMAKE_WORDS_BIGENDIAN that has not been defined. Some variables were 
always defined by CMake in versions prior to 1.6. To fix 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.

I get this error twice with CMAKE_WORDS_BIGENDIAN and a third time with 
CMAKE_SIZEOF_INT.  Setting the compatibility to 1.4 as suggested 
doesn't work; I get the same errors.  Can anybody help?
 
Thanks,
  Josh
