No, not 4.4, the code from cvs (aka 4.5 or 5.0 or whatever it is :) )
See: <http://public.kitware.com/VTK/get-software.php#cvs>

Thanks!

You said Carbon before, are you using Carbon or Cocoa?  Anyway, this
particular problem is the same with both.

So consider the executable 'Cylinder' that is in VTK/bin.  You want to
build a folder structure like this:
 /Cylinder.app
   /Contents
     /MacOS
       Cylinder (this is the executable!)

Then it'll work better.

BTW, you might want to read, though it is a bit out of date:
