[Insight-users] GLIBC not found

Hello,

I have successfully been using ITK and VTK on the compute cluster  
described in the summary below.  Recently the cluster nodes were  
upgraded from RHEL 5.7 to RHEL 6.2.  When this happened, I started  
getting the following error when I try to compile on the nodes:

  CMake Error at /homes/grail/smrolfe/ITK/bin/ITK-3-20-x86_64/ 
ITKBuildSettings.cmake:10 (message):
    This ITK was built by CMake 2.8.4, but this is CMake 2.6.4.   
Please upgrade
    CMake to a more recent version.

RHEL 6.2 has version 2.6 of Cmake.  It was not on the nodes before the  
upgrade so I had built version 2.8.4 in my home path.  I am looking  
into how to change the path to Cmake since I do not have permission to  
upgrade the software on the nodes and would like to continue using my  
own build.  I'd appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,
Sara
