[vtkusers] Building VTK 4.4 on Mac OS X 10.2.6 (illegal reference to symbol: _crc32)

[Martin Dunschen]

In my quest I had the same problem. Maybe it makes a difference if you  
run 'cmake' several times? Eventually I was able to build the libs.
I also recommend to run 'sudo make install' at some point to copy the  
libraries and header files into appropriate locations (copies things to  
/usr/local/lib/vtk and /usr/local/include/vtk)

Another thing I learned was: You need to compile and link any  
applications with gcc version 3. For a reason I dont understand  
'Project Builder' is configured to run 'g++2' and you end up with  
'undefined symbols' when you link your app. I am not sure if it works  
to build the libs using g++2 (can be done by setting the value fo the  
C++compiler in the file CMakeCache.txt)

I would like to write how I eventually got the installation working,  
but the thing is I cant remember all steps, sorry.

I still have problems with calling vtk from python...
