No that a bug IMHO. For out-of-source build, you should never write to
the in-source tree. Please log that as a bug in VTK:

The file is delivered in the tarball as 400. Issue fixed on my system by:

chmod 600 Utilities/vtktiff/tif_fax3sm.c

I did not invoke `sudo make` as in the previous message.

this is still a problem in vtk-5.6.0.tar.gz

the file tif_fax3sm.c is in the archive with permission -r--r--r--

that means the file cannot be overwritten. but during compilation the file needs to be overwritten.

workarounds are changing the file permissions so it can be overwritten, or deleting that file by hand, or deleting the file by doing a make clean.

as far as i can tell you can fix this bug by omitting the file tif_fax3sm.c from the archive.
