[vtkusers] Mac os x: succcess, but ... More...

Anyone have any idea what could be confusing MayaVi here? These modules
exist. The one it's referring to is in /usr/local/bin... Perhaps the .so is
bothering it?

Thanks

Awesome. The setenv works now, but it's still returning the error. Perhaps
it's the .so extension that's confusing it?
