[vtkusers] CMake Error Message

[Lauren Cohen]

I had been running CMakeSetup in the Windows environment, which is where I 
received the error message. Following your advice, I've now attempted to run 
both "ccmake" and "cmake -i" in the source code directory while in the bash 
shell. The former results in an error message - "cannot execute binary file" - 
while the latter causes the system to hang.

And yes, I am using release 4.4. I do have a copy of release 4.2, though, if 
that would solve the above problem.

Thanks for your assistance,

Lauren
