[vtkusers] Problems compiling VTK on Red Hat Linux

[Michael Rivera]

Hello,

 I'm am trying to compile VTK from the source code for my Intel box that 
is running Red Hat Linux. The configuration I am running is:

 Red Hat Linux 9.0 and and intel processer
gcc compiler 3.2.2
VTK-4.2-LatestRelease.tar.gz

 I get major errors for the subroutine vtkDataArraySelection.cxx. A 
sample below is included below.
**********
    /usr/local/src/VTK/Common/vtkDataArraySelection.cxx:36: parse error 
before `<'
       token
    /usr/local/src/VTK/Common/vtkDataArraySelection.cxx:37: parse error 
before `<'
       token
    /usr/local/src/VTK/Common/vtkDataArraySelection.cxx: In constructor
   `    vtkDataArraySelection::vtkDataArraySelection()':
    /usr/local/src/VTK/Common/vtkDataArraySelection.cxx:42: invalid use of
       undefined type `class vtkDataArraySelectionArrayNamesType'
    /usr/local/src/VTK/Common/vtkDataArraySelection.h:31: forward 
declaration of `
       class vtkDataArraySelectionArrayNamesType'
    /usr/local/src/VTK/Common/vtkDataArraySelection.cxx:43: invalid use of
       undefined type `class vtkDataArraySelectionArraySettingsType'

(And the list goes on because it cannot identify the defined classes)
***********

 I also downloaded  the nightly release of this subroutine with similar 
results. I defined the VTK_DATA_ROOT, VTK_ROOT with  BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON 
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON, VTK_WRAP_TCL=ON and VTK_WRAP_PYTHON=ON. Maybe I'm 
just missing something extra from my path or something like that. Maybe 
I should upgrade the compiler?

 I am familiar with VTK for Windows systems. I have installed the 
binaries for both Windows 98 and Windows XP Pro. No problems there. I'd 
like to get it going on the Linux box. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael Rivera
