[Insight-users] I have a problem With FFT in ITK

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Simon,

Thanks for pointing this out.

The boolean option for FFTW_INCLUDE_PATH has now been
removed from the FindFFTW.cmake file:

http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/CMake/FindFFTW.cmake?root=Insight&r1=1.8&r2=1.9

You may want to try it after updating your CVS checkout.


Please let us know if you find any other problem.


    Thanks


       Luis
