Thanks for the advice!

I decided to go back to the original instructions and start from a clean directory. This time I followed very very closely the steps provided, down to the creation of a directory named "core" and the creation of a "build" directory (not located within the "core" directory tree) and this time both cmake and make ran successfully. I tested dcm2image on a bunch of DICOM files and the test completed suceesfully.

Thanks very much for the feedback and for actively developing cmtk toolkit!

Best,
