[vtkusers] Installation problems

Dear VTK experts,

I am trying to compile VTK, w/o success so far.

After downloading CMake for MacOS and including the bin path into my environment I cd'ed to the VTK
folder and typed -following the instructions for installation-
>ccmake .

The error message was:
dyld: ccmake can't open library: /usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib  (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Trace/BPT trap


Browsing /usr/lib/ I found two related libraries:
libncurses.5.dylib
libncurses.dylib@ -> /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib

renaming libncurses.5.dylib into libncurses.5.4.dylib led to

>ccmake .
dyld: ccmake version mismatch for library: /usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib (compatibility version of
user: 5.4.0 greater than library's version: 5.0.0)
Trace/BPT trap


Ok, I downloaded the version 5.4. again from the GNU pages and installed everything.
However, the library is again called libncurses.5.dylib (instead of libncurses.5.4.dylib) and the
ccmake error message remains.


Are there any other options to make ccmake happy?

Thanks a lot in advance!
