[vtkusers] Problem compiling VTK dylibs on MacOSX 10.4.6

[Joseph Hager]

Hello,

	Hopefully somebody can help. I'm trying to build vtk on MacOSX  
10.4.6, but I'm unable to build a dynamic lib for libvtkIOPython,  
libvtkRenderingPython, and libvtkParallelPython.  I didn't notice any  
warnings or errors relating to those libs during the vtk build  
process. I discovered the problem when I went to compile Xdmf. During  
the Xdmf linking phase I get the following:

Linking CXX shared library ../bin/libvtkXdmfPython.dylib

A quick search of the system shows that the three dylibs are not to  
be found anywhere on the system. Has anyone else encountered this  
problem with VTK and OSX? I can post more info, CMakeCache.txt, etc.,  
if necessary.

Thanks,
Joe
