[vtkusers] Compiling VTK 4.2.0 on MAC OS X 10.3

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Giulio,

	You should send these kind of questions to the VTK users ML or ParaView 
ML. I found a mail:

http://vtk.org/pipermail/vtkusers/2003-September/019917.html

	But the solution is more of a bad hack. Are you sure you turn CARBON 
and COCOA to OFF ? You should only use X11 to build ParaView.
