[MINC-users] problems saving images in Display

[Michel Audette]

Hi Andrew and Steve,

I am using Display 1.3.8, bicpl 1.4.1, and netpbm-10.18.18, all from source
code. I didn't configure Display with --lpthread. I didn't see that anywhere
mentioned, nor does it seem to be a recognized configure option for Display
right now. I used the --with-image-ppm option for bicpl.

By the way, I had to edit some makefiles to also account for pbm and pgm
dependencies, along with ppm. I didn't see a simple way to fix that in
configuration files.

Thanks for your help. Cheers,

Michel
