[vtkusers] compilation error of release v5.8.0

[Kishore Mosaliganti]

Hello,

I am using Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit with gcc version 4.8.1. When I tried to
compile v5.8.0, I obtained the following error:

$ make

make[1]: *** [Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/CMakeFiles/vtkhdf5.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I found this old bug report on this issue:
http://vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=12568

I was wondering if this bug fix can be applied to the VTK5 release.

Thank you,

Kishore
