What do you mean by "using DCMTK on Linux"? Compilation and installation for both Windows and Linux/Unix are described in the INSTALL file.

I had successfully compiled and installed DCMTK on my Linux machine. Are there examples which show how to use the applications ? e.g. how to read a .dcm file ? I guess I'm confused about which .h files to include and how to link them my program.

Thanks

DCMTK comes with documentation that can be generated from the source files. See the INSTALL file for how to do this. This documentation can also be viewed online at http://support.dcmtk.org/docs/index.html. Moreover, each application in any of the apps folders, e.g. dcmdump from dcmdata/apps, has a corresponding descriptive document in the docs folder of the same dcmtk folder, e.g. dcmdump.man in dcmdata/docs. Besides these sources, you can read the FAQ or search for specific topics in this forum.
