[vtkusers] Using vtkSmartPointer with my own classes

[Vinicius Rogério Araujo Silva]

Hello all,

I've created a simple class, which is a subclass of vtkObject, and tried to
use vtkSmartPointer with it. The class is as follows:

class MyClass : public vtkObject
{
public:
MyClass()
{
std::cout << "BEING CONSTRUCTED" << std::endl;
}
~MyClass()
{
std::cout << "BEING DESTRUCTED" << std::endl;
}
};


And I'm trying to create a smart pointer for it like this:

vtkSmartPointer<MyClass> myPtr = vtkSmartPointer<MyClass>::New();

But the instantiation of the object/smartptr generates compiler errors.
Can anyone help me with that?

Compiling under Visual C++ 2008, my build log follows:
