[Insight-users] Curves2DExtractor not working (MinGW & FLTK)

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Rick,

Thanks your feedback.

I was expecting that installing an X server
would have solved the problem...

Since you report that the ImageViewer application
is not doing anything after you launch it, and it
is not even printing error messages,...

When you say that "nothing happens", does this
means that the shell prompt gets back to you ?
or that the application is hanging and you don't
get the prompt back ?


---

Could you please try the following three things:


A) Open the Task Manager, and check if when you run
    the ImageViewer application, the name of the
    executable appears in the list of processes
    and remains there.


B) Launch the application with

       strace  ImageViewer

    and see if it reports any error messages.


C) Recompile the ImageViewer application with
    the Debug compilation flag ON (do this in
    CMake on the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE), and then
    launch it from gdb.



Please let us know what you find.


    Thanks


      Luis
