[Insight-developers] [Insight-users] CMake config problem: ITK + GDCM 2 + VTK

[Karthik Krishnan]

I think the more likely place VTK-VERSION may be getting pulled in is
that GDCM has been built with the flag GDCM-USE-VTK set to ON. Dean
Inglis who initially reported the error on the attached link did have
this flag on.
