[vtkusers] Problems building VTK on Mac OSX 10.2.1

[Raphael Sebbe]

I saw from your build log you were trying to compile VTK for Cocoa. It 
is my understanding that to use Tcl/Tk, you have to use the Carbon 
backend (the same stands for Java), as Tcl/Tk for Mac OS X is 
implemented in Carbon (although I guess this is less of an issue with 
Jaguar, Carbon and Cocoa can work together). I was never able to use 
Tcl/Tk-VTK on Mac OS X, though I heard people had success with that.

Right now I use exclusively VTK/Cocoa/Objective-C++, and it works well. 
I would be grateful however if someone with a working setup could put 
the binaries (gcc3.1) of VTK-Carbon-Tcl libs + Tcl/Tk somewhere so that 
I can see the various VTK examples written in Tcl.

ps; I also have an X11 installation, but no problem so far with it.
