[Dcmlib] gdcm exception during new gdcm::File()

[gbook]

The dicom files I'm using are ones from the sampleData from the News page.
What is the best way to open a dicom file? The methods described on the news
page dont seem to work either:

gdcm::File *f = new gdcm::File();
f->SetLoadMode(NO_SEQ | NO_SHADOW);
f->Load(fileName);

Neither Load or SetLoadMode seem to be accesible functions.
