[Insight-users] Fwd: Compiler issue on Solaris

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Oscar,

The two common problems in Solaris are:

  1) The use of a broken "tar" tool.

  2) A mixture between the CC and GCC development environments.


Since you are missing files, it is more likely that case (1)
is the actual source of the problem.

Sun opted for distributing a broken tar tool in order to
support backward compatibility.


    Question:     How did you downloaded ITK ?


Did you take the tar.gz file and extracted it in Solaris ?

We generate the tar.gz files using the GNU tar tool,
and these files can not be extracted with the SUN tar tool.


You may want to try using CVS to checkout a particular
branch of ITK, for example ITK-3-4 or ITK-3-6.


    Please let us know what you find,


       Thanks


          Luis

BTW: The reason why your email bounced from the mailing list
is that you CMakeCache.txt file is longer than 40Kb which is
the size limit for attachement to the mailing list.
