Of course not, gg... just compiled them once with Carbon=ON,  
Cocoa,X11 is OFF... check the C++ example files, deleted the files.  
And after that compiled with Cocoa=ON, Carbon,X11 is OFF with a fresh  
sourcetree... and check the example files again. The mouse and  
keyboard events which are necassary to rotate or move objects didn't  
work on my compilations. 3-Button mouse emulation with Control- 
MouseClick and Alt-MouseClick seemed to be ignored. Under X11 without  
any problems... it justs works.

Currrently i'm trying to compile VTK with Tcl/Tk wrapping enabled.  
After that i want to try java wrapping... just installed OS X 10.4.  
Under OS X 10.3 apple seemd to have difficulties with java 1.4 and  
the cocoa framework. Found that hint few days ago, but i'm not able  
to find it again.

Regards Winn
