[Insight-developers] Very strange interaction between some itk image io and vtk io - sample images

Hi Richard,

This sounds very strange.

There is no obvious reason why linking with a VTK library should
change the behavior of an ITK writer.

One option that comes to mind is whether you may be using the SYSTEM
zlib library, or the SYSTEM tiff library at the moment you configure
with CMake.


    Are you doing something like that at configuration time ?


      Thanks


          Luis
