I guess you would say it was against an "install tree"?  That is to say
I did "make install" to install all the prerequisite packages in a
common prefix "/usr/local/Vis" and then built Slicer3 for the same
prefix.

After installing those 2 headers Slicer3 built, installed and ran.  I
have not used it in anger since the data I am interested in is in an
antique format and I have not been able to load it yet...  do you have
any tools for importing the "VoxelView" file format?  If not I must
learn how to write an import module myself...
