[Insight-users] SimpleITK cannot build

Wed Nov 7 16:41:27 EST 2012

Lisa,

Thanks for letting us know that the binary download worked for you.

I just encountered the same error you reported, on a RH6 system with CMake 2.8.10 newly installed. I see that are are also using that new version of CMake, so I think I can now address your configuration error shortly.

Thanks,
Brad

I've absolutely no idea how to go about doing that unless I were to get explicit instructions directing every step. Like I said before the only reason I decided to go along with C# is because I definitely need a UI and C# is easier for that but I'm more comfortable with C++ and if there's a way.......

Usually I manage to get around these but for some reason (I guess my brain has been refusing to work) I've been stuck with these errors for 2 days. They are probably just 2 minutes work for somebody out there so could you help me out please? I'm pasting the error report -
