Details:

Im am trying to install the dicom package for octave in a Jessie distribution.
I have installed all gdcm packages and their folder is called something like
libgdcm4. I get this error when installing the dicom package:


fatal error: gdcm-2.0/gdcmReader.h: No such file


First I thought maybe the dicom package is only compatible with an older gdcm
version so I installed previous gdcm versions but I keep getting the same
error. I think the path the dicom package is trying to use is hardcoded in
there which causes the dicom package to not be able to be installed anymore. 

Im not very Linux savvy so some of my interpretations may be off and there
might be a simple solution to this. But I do have some programming/scripting
experience and Im pretty sure the predefined path is the problem here. 

I also saw on the forge that the latest version was from 2011 so maybe no one
is maintaining this package anymore and I should not try to use it?
