Unable to compile VTK

I tried compiling VTK using both yaourt and the direct method( manually from the AUR website ), but I keep getting this error
.....
[  0%] Java Wrappings
[  0%] Java Wrappings
[  2%] Built target vtkIOJavaJavaClasses
Linking CXX shared library ../../bin/libvtksys.so
[  2%] Built target vtksys
make: *** [all] Error 2
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...

I'd appreciate it if someone could resolve this.

No I did not try his patch since it was intended to solve a different issue apparently. But, I tried it again now with the patch and it still does not compile.

Re: Unable to compile VTK

Finally! I managed to compile and install it. It seems that gcc 4.3 is quite a step apart from other versions. It is causing issues in lots of compilations. Anyway, to compile it, I just had to edit 3 files

- Utilities/DICOMParser/DICOMAppHelper.cxx
- Utilities/DICOMParser/DICOMFile.cxx
- Utilities/DICOMParser/DICOMParser.cxx
I changed the <string> header to <string.h>
