[MINC-users] build almost everything minc Makefile and git repository for EZminc

[Luis Concha]

Hello all.

Replying to my own post is far from exciting, but I'm doing it so that
the solution I found to my compilation problem is of help to anyone in
the same situation.

The solution to compile everything using Vlad's big Makefile was to
install ActiveState Perl in my own directories, and adding it to the
PATH before the system's built in perl installation (using the
install.sh from the ActiveState Perl distribution). After that, make
all compiled everything without any further problems.

Minc tools on the cluster, here I go.

Thanks to all for helping out!

Luis
