[vtkusers] VTK, MacOS and X11

[Jon H Kaspersen]

Hi again John,

Are you able to for example pop up xlogo or xclock ?

Have you tried a complete rebuild of VTK with X11 ?
Make sure that :
             OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.dylib
             OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.dylib


Regards
Jon
