[Insight-users] Compiling ITK on Windows

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Raghavendra,

The error messages indicate that you have another
version of the PNG library in your system.

This version is conflicting with the one that is
distributed with ITK in the "Utilities" directory.

You will have to locate this DLL library in you
disk and make sure that it is not included in
your path whenever you are building ITK.

What is happening at this point is that the linker
finds your png system library before it finds the
one in ITK: itkpng.lib


Please let us know if you have any questions,


Thanks

Luis
