Installation problem (ITK3.2.0 in Linux)

Beginner Questions
#1

hi,
i am a beginner to ITK, now I am installing itk(3.2) vtk(5.8) in my Linux. and I meet some problem. I even do not know how to solve it. I have successfully installed the latest version ITK and vtk, however the latest version does does not contain some of the .h files. the procedure I follow is:mkdir ITK-bin and cd ITK-bin, cmake …/Insight-3.2.0 and make then the problem occurs:
In file included from /usr/local/ITK/InsightToolkit-3.20.1/Utilities/vxl/vcl/vcl_iosfwd.h:8:0,
from /usr/local/ITK/InsightToolkit-3.20.1/Utilities/vxl/vcl/vcl_iostream.h:28,
from /usr/local/ITK/InsightToolkit-3.20.1/Utilities/vxl/vcl/vcl_deprecated.cxx:4:
/usr/local/ITK/InsightToolkit-3.20.1/Utilities/vxl/vcl/vcl_compiler.h:123:4: error: #error “Dunno about this gcc”

error “Dunno about this gcc”

Just guessing (not an expert in Linux; have not checked the VXL file at issue), but may be the dependencies or compiler macros in ITK 3.20 are too old for the gcc you have in your box?

You may want to read Chapter 2 of the ITK SW Guide if you haven’t already.

You may also download ITK packages for Linux distributions. Read the Download.md file.

BTW, is there any special reason why you would be using ITK 3.20 instead of the latest stable release ITK 4.13.0?

Note that you will need to use/have a more modern CMake and VTK versions too.

What compiler are you using? What is it’s specific version?
