[vtkusers] Can't compile 5.2.1, CVS. Error in vtkAbstractArray: Ambiguous overload for concatenator << operator

[Paul]

Bleh. I'm still having problems getting VTK to compile on my new machine.
It's running on the new Intel Core i7, I'm wondering if there might be a bug
with it and gcc/libstdc++. I flattened my disk and installed the Ubuntu 9.04
alpha - still no go. Is it definitely a problem with my build environment?
