[vtk-developers] VTK/Python on Mac OSX

[Yves Starreveld]

Hi, Andy,

Your Tcl/Tk problem notwithstanding...

VTK/Python is currently broken on OSX.2 using gcc3.

Apparently there is a known problem with shared libraries that use c++ 
faultily calling initialization code more than once.

One needs to build everything with gcc2.

Also, there has been a flurry of changes in Tk and Tcl of late. The 
event passing problem that necessitated the use of the binaries I had 
posted should be fixed.

I have launched another build and will post once everything works 
again. Am also modifying CMake to properly set up CMakeCache.txt to 
include references to the Tk, Tcl, and Python frameworks so that 
building will be less painful for new users.
