[vtkusers] vtkImagePlaneWidget - "cannot find class vtkCollectionSimpleIterator"

[Amy Henderson]

Hi Istvan,

The problem is that you downloaded the latest CVS version of 
vtkImagePlaneWidget.cxx and tried to compile it into VTK 4.4.  That version 
of VTK was created late in 2003, so you should not expect to be able to 
update a single class to the current version and have everything work 
properly.  You should either use VTK 4.4 (even though vtkImagePlaneWidget 
in that release does not have the specific method you mentioned), or you 
should use the CVS version of VTK (the current development version, which 
will contain bugs that a release version will not).  Either way, use a 
single version of VTK; do not try to mix classes from different 
versions.  If you decide to use the CVS version, the instructions for 
getting VTK through CVS can be found here: http://www.vtk.org/get-software.php.
