Absolutely not, this is an extremely simple case... I would try one
more thing,when installing gdcm 2.x you also have a small utilisties:
gdcmconv. Please try running:

 $ gdcmconv --force --raw input.dcm output.dcm

where input.dcm is your input dicom and output.dcm will be a new
(rewritten) dicom file. Then try loading that one (output.dcm) using
ITK.

Thanks,
