[MINC-users] minc2 build error in mincconvert

[EJ Nikelski]

Hi all,

   I finally decided to jump onto the minc2 train, however I've run
into a slight build problem. Here are the details:

1. I build and install some prerequisites ...
   zlib-1.2.3, szip-2.1, hdf5-1.6.6, netcdf-3.6.2

   .... all without a problem.

2.  I build minc2 with this ...

./configure
    --prefix=/data/raid01/quarantine/Nov2007/minc2
    --enable-minc2
    --enable-acr-nema
    --with-build-path=/data/raid01/quarantine/Nov2007/netcdf-3.6.2
                     :/data/raid01/quarantine/Nov2007/hdf5-1.6.6
                     :/data/raid01/quarantine/Nov2007/zlib-1.2.3

The ./configure works OK, but the make fails (ultimately) with an
error building mincconvert...

Has anyone seen this before? Could this be an inconsistency in the
latest version of zlib?

PS: I'm building minc-2.0.14 on Ubuntu Edgy.
