OK.  A little research shows that under Mac OS X the LD_LIBRARY_PATH  
is called DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Alas, I can't find the jre's awt lib.  Java is installed, and I have  
many working Java programs that have been built on this machine.   
But...some of the files are hidden away in strange places (usually  
involving "Framework"...).  I'm afraid normal *nix experience doesn't  
help here - we need a Mac OS X wizard.

So...right now I'm doing a "plain vanilla" build - following your  
recipe below, with simplifying changes.

And...damn - yet another error:

vtkGenericProbeFilter.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [GenericFiltering/CMakeFiles/vtkGenericFiltering.dir/ 
all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

So....while we wait for a Mac OS X wizard to move us along on the AWT  
front - any thoughts on this error and how to get past it?

See below for my simplified recipe:

The above NOT DONE (because I'm not yet attempting to build with Java)

> ccmake ../VTK

Done - I accepted all default settings and changed NOTHING.  I hit  
'c' (configure) a few times, and then 'g' (generate).

and here is where the build failed, with the error above
