Anyone know of a program to read dicom files?

I tried it, but couldn't get the source rpm to build on F12:

c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNDEBUG -c -I. -I. -I../include 
-I../../config/include -I../../ofstd/include -I../../dcmdata/include 
-I../../dcmnet/include \

I don't know C++ so I haven't tried to fix it.

I finally resorted to using nconvert to convert the dicom files to tiff. 
The conversion loses all the medical related data, but at least I can 
view the images.
