[vtkusers] More on mac os x installation

Tue Apr 16 23:53:48 EDT 2002

Hi! I'm relatively new to the unix world, oddly enough, but I'm determined
to get VTK running on my machine within or outside of this X-11 environment
with the intent of running MayaVi. Despite its intention to simplify, this
entire cmake process seems to make things far more cryptic than they would
otherwise be. Here's my confusion (and, naturally, I've tried this several
times before dragging myself to this listserv).

After a highly verbose make process, the program concludes with this:

/usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed
make[3]: *** [/usr/local/vtk/VTK/bin/libvtkRendering.dylib] Error 1
make[2]: *** [default_target] Error 2
make[1]: *** [default_target_Rendering] Error 2
make: *** [default_target] Error 2
[localhost:local/vtk/VTK] root# hmm...

Here are the questions that I'm not so sure about (and that are probably
relevant to this `target' issue... (?))

Thanks for any help anyone can provide me with this. (the libtool error
resulted because I have no idea what it's asking for in the dynamic link
library question...)

"By [reason] we gain a multitude of cognitions, which although really
nothing more than elucidations or explanations of that which (though in a
confused manner) was already thought in our conceptions, are, at least in
respect of their form, prized as new introspections; whilst, so far as
regards their matter or content, we have really made no addition to our
conceptions, but only disinvolved them."
