[vtkusers] VTK, MacOS and X11

[Johnny C. Norris II]

Thanks for the suggestion.  I changed the OpenGL settings to:

OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.dylib
OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.dylib

It didn't help, however.  I still get exactly the same errors.

I'll take a look at fink.  I'm porting an existing application, however, 
and would like to get it to work without a major redesign.

Thanks,
John
