[vtkusers] new user attempting install on mac OSX

[Byron Amerson]

Glen,

Thanks for your comments earlier...things moved along great for two hours
or
more...and then a make error was returned (see below).  I do not know what
it is complaining about.  you mentioned "ld'ing" a file path - I do not
know how it applies here- forgive my ignorance, I am still riding the unix
learning curve. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.  Thanks.
