[vtkusers] installation problems

[Ozus, Bahadir]

I sent the below message and did not hear from anyone. Is this the wrong
place to ask for this kind of question?
Please, let me know if there is any other place where I can get help.
 
>From your messages, I understand that using VTK requires programming skills.
I am a medical physicist, work with medical images and don't have a lot of
programming skills. I heard about VTK and decided to take a look. I had
problems during installation. Would you advice me to stop at this point and
use IDL instead? As it was mentioned in an earlier message, it will be
easier for a scientist to use IDL. It looks like VTK is not mature enough
for non-programmers to make use of it. I would appreciate your advice on
this.

Hello everyone,
 
I need some advice about installation. I am trying to install VTK on XP and
I have VC++ 6.0. When I run configure of CMake 2.0, it goes through some
steps and hangs up at some step. The last step that it hanged up was
"Checking for CXX include file iosfwd". CMake doesn't respond so I have to
end the task from the Task Manager. The source code is here: "C:\Program
Files\VTK-4.2" and the binaries to be build are here: "C:\Program
Files\VTK-4.2\build". I have tried CMake 1.8.3 and had the same problem.
