[vtkusers] OSX 10.6 TCL issue "libvtkRendering.5.4.dylib: GC capability mismatch" ( solution too )

[Michael Jackson]

Nope. All you are going to accomplish is generate a pile of noise on  
the vtk mailing list from Mac programmers who are on 10.6 but have to  
support customers on 10.4 (yes, it happens). Then we have to go and  
write up a wiki explaining that the defaults for vtk are WRONG and  
don't really work well on OS X and _these_ are the settings that one  
has to use to get it correctly built on OS X.
    Go back and look at the older paraview archives when ParaView was  
an X11 app (ParaView version 2.x). It RARELY built correctly on OS X  
with its default build values and ALWAYS generated list traffic from  
OS X users wanting to build it. Do the work now to get it right.
