Summary:                    compilation problem for vtktkrenderwidget
Description: 
I compiled vtk-5.8.0 on mageia 2 64 bits with gcc-4.6.3.
An error is printed during compilation:
[ 67%] Building CXX object
Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dir/vtkTkWidgetsInit.cxx.o

I added an explicit cast to char * at line 1309 and the compilation went fine.
