[vtkusers] compiling VTK on linux

[Liam K]

(sorry for previous blank post)

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

Indeed, i am hoping to use VTK with the java wrappers, but at the moment the
problem i'm having is compiling the binaries. I get the same errors even if
i disable to java wrapper option in cmake.
I'm sure this must be a compiler flag option or something similar...
