 From my point of view, it does not depend on which Xcode version you  
have installed. It depends which GUI framework, alias Carbon, Cocoa  
or X11 you use with VTK, and what SDK you have installed. If i  
mentioned Mr. Malaterre right, VTK needs some header files from the  
Quicktime SDK. Best preparation would be to install nearly every SDK  
avaible from the Xcode Installer Package. Just my thoughts...
My few tries finialize X11 is the best solution to get VTK running.  
Under Carbon and Cocoa the RenderWindowInteractor isn't able to catch  
all events from the mouse or keyboard. And under this circumstance,  
using wrappers like java or python (needs cocoa) don't work. X11  
seemd to be the best possibiliy to get Tcl/Tk wrapping run... look  
out for the Paraview binary from Kitware which runs under Mac OS X  
with X11 and Tcl/Tk wrapping. Best proove on that.

To get used to VTK Compilation, i started to do some compilations  
under Windows with Microsoft Visual Studio. The next step could be in  
exchanging compiled librarys.
