[vtkusers] VTK4.2 CD

Kate,

No absolutely not. Why are you saying

'I am also having'
       ^^^^

What does it have to do with an installation problem ?

As a side note, I ran on my linux box this c++ code(*), the reading of a 
512x512x512 unsigned short image took less than 3s:

./bench  1.19s user 1.77s system 101% cpu 2.923 total

Using VTK compiled in *debug* mode with no optimization using gcc 3.3
