Re: [Gdcm2] Install libs dir question

[Roger B. F. <rog...@gm...>]

Hi,

One week isn't so much time. ;)

I know UNIX world. Actually, Mac works like a UNIX OS since it's based on
it.

I agree with you that it's much easier if your libraries are located into
/usr/local/lib instead of /usr/local/lib/gdcm-2.0 because you have to take
care to add the path to nowhere. However, it's not a major problem if you
also use ITK or VTK because they are located into
/usr/local/lib/InsightToolkit or /usr/local/lib/vtk-5.6. Therefore, you just
have to add another path for gdcm into the environment path variable.

Anyway, as I said it's only a organization suggestion.

Roger
