gbook,

	MAke sure you are using gdcm fron CVS. Even if is not tag/branch right 
now it is pretty much the 1.0 release. You shouldn't start using 0,4 as 
you'll have a lot of problem trying to upgrade to anything after that.

	Anyway if you follow instructions from:

http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/Public/Gdcm/Cvs.html

	You'll get both a directoy called Example and one called Test. Where 
you'll find a lot of different ways to use the library to achieve 
different goals (Writing a Dicom. creating a new DICOM from scratch, 
copying DICOM fields, you name it ... )

Anyway I guess the Hello World for gdcm should be something like:



#include <gdcm.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   if( argc != 2 ) return 1;

   std::string filename = argv[1];
   gdcm::Header h( filename );
   h.Print();

   return 0;
}
