Are you using 4.2 for a particular reason? Or just because it is the
"official release".  For working on the Mac, I recommend you use the
newest code from cvs.

Add: #include <vtkProperty.h>

This is bug 2025, here:
<http://www.vtk.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=2025&pos=2>

please vote for it. :)

In the mean time, you can create a skeleton app bundle yourself and put
your compiled executable in it.  Let me know if you need details on this.
