[Insight-users] compilation problem

[Fleming, Matthew]

Just to follow up on my own post to indicate that the problem I reported was a manifestation of my own stupidity and did not represent a problem with ITK.
 
I reported compile errors as follows:
 
>>/home/mfleming/InsightToolkit-3.2.0/build/bin/libitksys.a(DynamicLoader.o): In function `itksys::DynamicLoader::LastError()':
>>DynamicLoader.cxx:(.text+0x33): undefined reference to `dlerror'

>>collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

on Linux. 
 
It turns out that the missing symbols (dlerror, dlsym, dlclose, and dlopen) all live in a library called libdl.a. I had inadvertently created my own library with the same name, which was hiding the system library. 
 
Sorry for the waste of electrons.
