[Insight-developers] gzip and metaIO

[kent williams]

I don't see this failure on Mac OS X or on RHEL5 builds.

What's wrong is that I'm printing out an error message when an error
condition occurs, and the calling code ignores the return code for that
function, so it goes into an endless loop printing error messages.

This is bad, of course; I'll see if I can figure out how to catch the error
code and do a more graceful failure.

But the problem shouldn't occur, unless you're not up to date
ITK/Utilities/MetaIO -- that's the error message you'd see if you tried to
read a gzipped voxel file, without the fix I recently put into MetaIO.

So I'm concerned that there's something screwed up with the ITK tree your
machines are trying to test.  An easy test to see if you've got the right
stuff:

grep inflateInit2 ITK/Utilities/MetaIO/metaUtils.cxx

If it doesn't find that function, your MetaIO is out of date.

I am testing another change to MetaIO to propogate read errors up the call
chain, so that this will be an immediate failure rather than an endless
loop.
