Bug#600421: Cannot find dicom dictionary to load

[Steve M. Robbins]

Package: slicer
Version: 3.6.0~svn13936-1
Severity: normal

Menu option "File|Add Volume..." brings up the "Add Volume" dialog" but it also
brings up a dialog box stating "Cannot find dicom dictionary to load".

Grepping the source reveals this string in Base/GUI/Tcl/LoadVolume.tcl,
and the code suggests it only looks for the dictionary in the Slicer tree
or the ITK tree whereas Debian builds with "system GDCM".

itcl::body LoadVolume::loadDICOMDictionary {} {
  if { [info exists _DICOM(loaded)] } {
    return
  }

  set itkBinDir ""
  if { [info exists ::env(ITK_BIN_DIR)] } {
    set itkBinDir $::env(ITK_BIN_DIR)
  }
  set dicomDict ""
  set dicomDictCandidates [list \
    $::Slicer3_BUILD/include/InsightToolkit/gdcm/Dicts/gdcm.dic \
    $itkBinDir/../../include/InsightToolkit/gdcm/Dicts/gdcm.dic \
    $itkBinDir/../Utilities/gdcm/Dicts/gdcm.dic \
    $itkBinDir/../../Utilities/gdcm/Dicts/gdcm.dic \
    $::Slicer3_BUILD/../Slicer3-lib/Insight-build/Utilities/gdcm/Dicts/gdcm.dic \
    ]
  foreach dictFile $dicomDictCandidates {
    if { [file exists $dictFile] } {
      set dicomDict $dictFile
      break
    }
  }

  if { $dicomDict == "" } {
    $this errorDialog "Cannot find dicom dictionary to load"
    set _DICOM(loaded) "Fail"
    return
  }


Actually, I can't find "gdcm.dic" installed anywhere on my machine, which
suggests a second bug in that libgdcm2.0 doesn't install that file.
