dont need to to that, the iccvars.sh script will
add the path to the intel libs to your dynamic library load path
so they will get found that way (or at least they did for 0.29 and VTK,
I haven't had chance to test the 0.30 version of the compilers yet.)

i think its supposed to be .profile
not sure if my environment is a bit screwed up having moved it from  
an older PPC mac.

Yes, you must do that for a fresh clean VTK CVS tree
or else ccmake will use gcc and you cant make it change to icc and  
icpc after that is set.
