[vtkusers] make fails with compilation error on Mac OS X

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Martin,

  You have threes options:
- you switch to VTK 4.4
- you switch to VTK CVS
- or you apply theses changes only:

http://vtk.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/VTK/Rendering/vtkCarbonRenderWindowInteractor.cxx.diff?r1=1.6&r2=1.7



Their is currently no VTK 4.4 tarball, meanwhile you can go to:

http://www.vtk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=VTK&only_with_tag=release-4-4
Scroll down the page and click 'Download tarball'

Sorry for the troubles,
Mathieu
