I just checked my aliases - none for make.

I just tried that, following someone else's suggestion.  I ran into a  
roadblock when I discovered that the procedures for building VTK  
seemed to be VERY DIFFERENT.  I'm waiting for a reply to help me sort  
that out.  Briefly, I see a README.html that references VTK version  
3.2, and a /macintosh directory with detailed instructions on dealing  
with Python (mostly).  Suffice it to say that "cmake -i ../vtk" did  
not do anything useful.
