[Insight-users] Compilation error while using ImageSeriesReader

[Desikachari Nadadur]

Hi All,

I used DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2.cxx as an example and wrote a small 
read function inside my own class that reads a series of DICOM files in 
a given directory and creates a 3D volume image. While compiling that I 
received the following error message regarding fill() function.

Someone else had reported the same error message to the list, but their 
question has not been answered; at least I could not find one in the 
list. So, I am trying to find out what I am doing wrong.

Important things to note is that I was able to successfully compile the 
InsightToolkit/Examples/ directory and received no error messages. I was 
able to execute DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2 and get the expected results.

I am using ITK 2.8.1, and GCC 4.2.3 compiler. Could you please help? 
Here is the error message:

====================================================================
