[OpenWalnut-Dev] OpenWalnut and pre installed NIfTI library

[Alexander Wiebel]

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I had the following problem when 
compiling the current OpenWalnut:

I have a FSL installed in my system path. With it comes the niftilib, or 
at least I believe that the niftilib I have in my system path comes from 
FSL.

When compiling OpenWalnut I got the following error:

Linking CXX shared library ../lib/libopenwalnut.so
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: 
/usr/local/lib/libniftiio.a(nifti1_io.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S 
against `.data' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile 
with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libniftiio.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I was able to fix this by clearing all nifti relevant variables in 
ccmake. This made the build the system think there was no preinstalled 
niftilib, and compile and use the one it brings itself.

This is OK for me, one just have to know it. So I wanted to share it 
with you.

Cheers,
Alex
