[vtkusers] Common/Makefile problem

[Ben FrantzDale]

OK, I got a bunch further after installing python and tcltk from Fink 
and pointing cmake to the libraries in /sw

But then I get this:

Building object file vtkCarbonRenderWindowInteractor.o...
Building object file vtkCarbonRenderWindow.o...
Building object file vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.o...
Building object file vtkRenderingInstantiator.o...

Any thoughts?

Thanks again,
