[vtkusers] Common/Makefile problem

[Ben FrantzDale]

I've done a fair amount of looking; if there's a good OSX install 
guide, I'd love to see it.

Looking online I saw a suggestion that the file I'm looking for is 
/usr/lib/python2.2/config/libpython2.2.a which is a file I don't have 
('though the path exists).

Also, what do you mean by the "-framework command"? python -framework 
doesn't work.

Thanks,
           Ben
