[vtkusers] VTK compile error: gcc 3.32, Solaris 10

That fixed the problem. Thank you very much. However, I have run across
another problem compiling a different library. Make stopped at 93% :(

The problem is stemming from "TestInstantiator," just after TestCxxFeatures
builds:

...

The vtkCommon target DID build correctly, and vtkSocket.o built and linked
into the library. You have done very much to get me started here, and I
really appreciate the time you've taken to help me. Hopefully this one last
problem will be something simple that I just am not realizing. I've searched
around on the mail list again trying to find something to help me out here,
but I have not found anything.

I had make continue (make -k) and found no other errors. This is the last
problem with my build. It just seems to be a cryptic message.

Hello Stephen,

At line 261 of VTK/Rendering/vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.cxx,

can you replace the first static_cast by a reinterpret_cast, please?

Just replace this line:

return
static_cast<vtkOpenGLExtensionManagerFunctionPointer>(glXGetProcAddress(rein
terpret_cast<const
GLubyte *>(fname)));
by this line:
return
reinterpret_cast<vtkOpenGLExtensionManagerFunctionPointer>(glXGetProcAddress
(reinterpret_cast<const
GLubyte *>(fname)));

and tell me if it passes. I need your feedback for fixing VTK-5.2 and VTK
CVS.

Regards.
