Hi Satrish,

As Master Luis always says, "try to take one step at a time"

1. Make sure you build all the toolkits and programs you got (one at a
time), try this order, 
Cmake, VTK, FLTK, Insight and InsightApplications,
so that is already alot of things to build!

 (a) VTK should be really easy and straightforward to build, just use
cmake to configure things (i.e specify location of some libraries and so
on) and run make and make install, if you have an error try searching
vtk archives first because someone has probably seen that error and got
some answer.

 (b) FLTK used to have a minor glitch about the header files so I
normally created another directory and specified it at configure so when
you run make install all headers and libraries are installed there
correctly, not sure if the new versions of FLTK still require this,

 (c) Insight and InsightApplications should be similar to building vtk
so just need to specify where FLTK libraries area and things like that,

good luck

Leila

p.s don't forget to check the e-mail archives should you get into any
trouble!
