[Insight-users] What are the ._vnl_*.cxx files?

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Brad,


              These files contain C++ code.


The files contain explicit instantiations of VNL templated classes.


          1) What platform are you using for building ITK ?

          2) What tarball did you downloaded ?
             What ITK version ?
             What tarball extension ?

          3) What version of CMake are you using ?

          3) What compiler are you using ?



Please let us know


   Thanks


     Luis
