[vtkusers] Compilation Errors error: ISO C++ says that these are ambiguous, even though the worst convesion for the first is better than the worst conversion for the second

[Rakesh K Sinha]

Hi, 
  I had downloaded recently the latest release of VTK from the web site -

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vtk/VTK-4.2-LatestRelease.tar.gz?download .

I tried to compile the same on my MandrakeLinux system installation 10.1  . 

I am running GNU gcc/g++ 3.41 . 

When I try to build the kit as per the instructions, I got a series of
compilation errors , as follows .
