[vtkusers] CMake Error Message

[Lauren Cohen]

When attempting a source code installation of VTK on my WinXP comp with the 
MinGW port of gcc, I get the following error message:

> The C compiler "gcc.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program.
> It fails with the following output:
>    0 [main] make 1588 fhandler_base::dup dup(some disk file) failed, handle 
0, Win32 error 6
>    Building object file testCCompiler.o...
>    Access violation
>
> CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.

What could be causing this error, and how can I fix it? Thank you for any help 
you can provide.
