[vtkusers] compiling VTK on linux

[Liam K]

Hi,

I'm looking for some help in compiling VTK+. I'm hoping to use it with the
java wrapping for a medical data visualisation project.

I'm finding just compiling VTK on my linux box (ubuntu) to be much more
difficult than i expect.
So far i have install cmake and set various option and generated the make
file.

When I run the make file however i get:

zoizoi at mangoNupheus:/usr/local/VTK$ make
[  0%] Built target vtkParseJava
[  0%] Built target vtkWrapJava
[  0%] Built target vtksys
[  0%] Building CXX object
Common/CMakeFiles/vtkCommon.dir/vtkDataArraySelection.o
/usr/local/VTK/Common/vtkDataArraySelection.cxx:27: error: ISO C++ forbids
declaration of 'vector' with no type
/usr/local/VTK/Common/vtkDataArraySelection.cxx:27: error: invalid use of
'::'
/usr/local/VTK/Common/vtkDataArraySelection.cxx:27: error: expected ';'
before '<' token

...and then a long long list of errors which it's probably not worth
posting. This is VTK 5.0.4

i have no idea what's causing this as my knowledge of C++ is pretty limited.
Is there some configure option i need to set to get the compiler to be less
stringent or something?

hope someone can help as i need to get working on this project asap.

Liam
