These multiple definitions haven't caused me any trouble so far in the 
X11 version...

Rather odd that!

In my vtk build directory, in Rendering/vtkRenderingTCLInit.cxx, I have 
these defined as Vtktkrenderwidget_Init and Vtktkimageviewerwidget_Init 
(i.e. different capitals to what you saw above).

These routines are called from Wrapping/Tcl/vtkTkAppInit.cxx and 
Wrapping/Tcl/vtktcl.c (in the original source directory).

That's the case with my download of 4.2.2 - I don't know if it's the 
same in your version...? (vtkNightlySrc.tar.gz - which night was that?)

I suggest you check the above files to see if the names match up.


Couple of other things...

> //Python Framework
> PYTHON_DEBUG_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=-framework Python

I think it's worth getting rid of that (though I doubt it's causing any 
problems).

ISTR you need the Hybrid stuff to use MayaVi...?


Hope that helps!
