[vtkusers] vtk building

[Luca Cinquepalmi]

Hi,
I tried to build VTK 5.6 with GUI CMake. I used Unix Makefile generator 
and I set  "use defaul compiler". I also set:

Where is the source code: C:/VTK56
Where to build the binaries:  C:/VTKBin56

When i tampe the "Configure" button, it starts with no error, but 
suddenly an error occurs. These are the messages that appear:
