I'm using CUDA 5, CUDA 4 should also work.

This is probably caused by an old version of txpetscgpu, which has been
upgraded in 'next'.  If you used --download-txpetscgpu=1, you can update
to the new version using:

$ rm -r externalpackages/txpetscgpu $PETSC_ARCH/include/txpetscgpu
$ git pull
$ make reconfigure all

This was improper use of const, not caught perhaps because ctetgen was
not being tested.  I've fixed the problem in 'next'.

Matt, please merge my branch 'jed/fix-plex-const' into 'knepley/plex' at
your convenience.
