The itkBoxSpatialObject class was added after the ITK 2.0.1 release, and is
currently only available via CVS.  Recent versions of SOViewer depend on
this new code, so you will need to get a recent CVS version of ITK itself.

You can do an anonymous checkout of CVS with the following commands:

  % cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at www.itk.org:/cvsroot/Insight login

Simply press [Return] to enter a blank password when prompted.  Then, from
your working directory:

  % cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at www.itk.org:/cvsroot/Insight co Insight

It is a good idea to check the ITK Dashboard, which posts results of nightly
and continuous builds, to ensure your CVS checkout passes all tests:

  http://www.itk.org/HTML/Testing.htm

Just pick the most recent build that is all green, and use the "-D" option
to "cvs co" to specify the date you wish to check out.

There's lots of resources on the ITK website, be sure to check out the
Welcome page if you haven't already found it.  Please let us know if you
have any problems.

Best regards,

  :: Gavin
