[Vv] trying to install vv on MacOSX yosemite: ITK problem

Sat Apr 25 01:45:48 CEST 2015

Hi,
I apologize, when I tried to compile clitk tonight, the clitkPadImageFilter
error occured. I'm not sure since when this appeared but it's definitely
pretty new. It's been fixed now:

Thanks for sharing this,
Simon
