Brad,

Thanks a lot for your help. The exact error is as follows:

itkSparseFieldLevelSetImageFilter.txx(479) : error C2668: 'vcl_sqrt' : ambiguous
call to overloaded function
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\xmemory(61) :
while compiling class-template member function 'void __thiscall
itk::SparseFieldLevelSetImageFilter<class itk::Image<unsigned short,3>,class
itk::Image<unsigned short,3> >::
UpdateActiveLayerValues(double,class itk::SparseFieldLayer<class
itk::SparseFieldLevelSetNode<class itk::Index<3> > > *,class
itk::SparseFieldLayer<class itk::SparseFieldLevelSetNode<class itk::Index<3> >
> *)'

Itk and Vtk both compiled fine. My program includes both Itk and Vtk functions,
and the Vtk functions compile correctly on their own.

Let me know if any other info would be helpful.

Thanks again,
Jamie
