[Insight-users] Re: Build problem

[Zhuang Song (Johnny)]

Hi Gavin,
Thanks for the help. I have successfully built ITK itself. The only
difference than your steps is that I created the build directly inside
the source directory of InsightToolkit. Does this really matter? 

The major problem was I only set the path for C++ compiler, but didn't
set that for C compiler. After I fixed this problem, the whole build
process for ITK itself had no error or warning message. But when I
compile my own program, the compiler still can't understand C++ syntax,
such like the definition of vector variables:
           const vector< int >::iterator  iterator_x,
           const vector< int >::iterator  iterator_y,
it will give error message:
   parse error before `::' token
   'vector' undeclared (first use this function)

It seems C++ compiler still doesn't work. or is there other
configuration problem?

thanks,
Zhuang
