Build Slicer3 on Dell Laptop Inspiron 1501 (Fedora Core 6)

If Fedora Core 6 has been installed on Dell Laptop Inspiron 1501, follow these steps to build Slicer3 on it:

Install Tcl/Tk

• If you don't have Tcl/Tk installed, download its binary from here:

http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/Linux/8.4.14/ActiveTcl8.4.14.0.272572-linux-ix86.tar.gz

• Login as root and install it

Get Slicer3-IGT source code

 svn co http://www.na-mic.org/svn/Slicer3/branches/IGT Slicer3

[Optional] Include opentracker in Slicer3 (for IGT modules such as NeuroNav)

With SPLOT built, locate the OpenTracker section in Slicer3/CMakeLists.txt and configure that part following the bold comments:

 #
 # OpenTracker

 # Turn this option on to use opentracker lib
 OPTION(USE_OPENTRACKER "Build Slicer3 with OpenTracker support." ON)
 IF(USE_OPENTRACKER)

   # If you use opentracker 2.0
   OPTION(OT_VERSION_13 "Specify the opentracker version." OFF)
   # Set the path here for opentracker library
   FIND_LIBRARY(OPENTRACKER_LIB

   # For opentracker 2.0, set the path for OpenTracker/OpenTracker.h
   FIND_PATH(OPENTRACKER_INC_DIR "${INC}" 
     /projects/birn/hliu/splot-build/opentracker/include

   IF(OPENTRACKER_INC_DIR-NOTFOUND)
