My mistake Ben, of course, the correct fix is (as you mentioned):
      #define VTK_SIZEOF_CHAR = 1
and this is obviously the one I implemented (which makes it possible to 
compile and link vtk in my case).

To be more accurate, compilation errors were reported in vtkType.h at 
the following line:
     #if VTK_SIZEOF_CHAR == 1
