Let do a check list to find the problem:<br>
1-I downloaded the latest binary, are you using the downloaded binary
or the source?<br>
<br>
2-when I type this in the prompt window:<br>
[[[$Application
GetMainWindow]GetCurrentPVSource]GetDataInformation]GetMemorySize<br>
I get this<br>
invalid command name "vtkTemp4GetCurrentPVSource"<br>
<br>
What could be the difference? Any suggestions on what to try to find
the problem?<br>
