[Insight-users] Problem with installation of VTK

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Eduardo,


1) This is the ITK users list (for the Insight Toolkit).

    Your email will be more appropriate
    for the VTK users list:

           http://www.vtk.org/mailman/listinfo/vtkusers


2) Creating the binary directory for VTKinside the
    source tree of VTK doesn't seem to be a good idea.

    You may want to try doing:

       Source Tree in:    /usr/local/vtk/VTK
       Binary  Tree in:    /usr/local/vtk/Binary


    Then

            cd /usr/local/vtk/Binary
            ccmake ../VTK

    and, of course, make sure that you have
    writing permission for the binary directory.


    Regards,


           Luis
