Everything is open source. Ref build failure on automated debian build
system (hppa machine):
https://buildd.debian.org/~luk/status/package.php?p=gdcm
The problem is that this is quite complex to build on a non-debian
system. Does redhat system comes with a system installed 'vtk.jar'
file ?
To reproduce you need to get VTK package, turn java wrapping on. Then
build GDCM against that VTK version. If you need more info, please
contact me directly.
Thanks,
