I have a Dicom file which is run perfectly on another DICOM viewer tools. But I can't seem open it with my GDCM viewer.

Here is the link for my DCM file https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwsYpl75gMyEbi1BNW52QmVtLWs

Can someone help me on why i can't open that DICOM file with my new viewer?

It's a Structured Report. There isn't great support for SR in many viewers. – martinez314
What problem exactly do you have? – Ale
gdcmviewer is meant to display a DICOM that contains an image (no PDF, no WAV, no SR, no TEXT, no XML...) – malat

Yes, it is a DICOM Comprehensive SR (Structured Reporting) document and no DICOM image. One reason why you can't display it with your DICOM viewer might be that SR documents (or this particular SOP class) are not supported, as "whiskeyspider" wrote. Another reason might be that the SR document is invalid (does not conform to the requirements of the DICOM standard). One problem is that the Date (0040,A121) value in Content Item 1.3.1 is empty:

D: $dcmtk: dsrdump v3.6.1 DEV $
D: 
[...]
W: Date (0040,a121) empty in content item (type 1)
W: Reading invalid/incomplete content item DATE "1.3.1"

If you are interested in the contents of the SR document, you might want to give the DCMTK SR tools a try: http://support.dcmtk.org/docs-snapshot/mod_dcmsr.html#Tools
