[vtkusers] More on mac os x installation

Thu Apr 18 04:17:50 EDT 2002

Mike,

You're probably working with the CVS version. I forgot to mention that 
the patch from my feb-2002 e-mail was meant for the 4.0 release.

I'm currently working with Yves Starreveld to get the configuration for 
X11 under Mac OS X working within the current CVS tree, so stay tuned...

Regards,
Sander
