It would be quite reasonable to support using a system expact.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Could you please describe you problem a little clearer? Are you having problem compiling ITK? or an Application which uses ITK? or Issues compiling independent programs after ITK is installed?</div></div>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>My problem not with compiling/installing ITK but when compiling libkml, a dependency of OTB which uses ITK. This uses an expat library and instead of using a system expat i wind up using expat from ITK as expat.h is installed in <prefix>/include/ITK4.6. I can confirm using system expat doesnt have any problem with libkml when used with OTB. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you would like to have a look at bug report, see here[1]. I had a temporary solution to build libkml before adding itk headers but a best would be to have a fix in ITK' expat library.</div><div>
<br></div><div>The issue is coming using an installed version of ITK. </div><div>So if you are planning to upgrade expat library to its latest version or use system expat then the problem is solved. </div><div><br></div>
