Sorry to bother you again,
In Xcode, I have added the libraries (common, rendering, filtering,
graphics, imaging), the openGL framework, and the header files as you
described. Now i get the following errors when trying to run the
program:
[Session started at 2006-05-12 16:56:53 -0400.]
ERROR: In /Develop/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 1046
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x2b10ac0): bad X server connection.
ERROR: In /Develop/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 169
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x2b10ac0): bad X server connection.
VTKTEST has exited due to signal 10 (SIGBUS).
Is there anything else I need to add?
Thanks for the help...I am very new to all this.
