[vtkusers] problems installing shared libraries on OSX

[Mike Jackson]

Couple things. Carbon is fully supported on Intel. I think what you  
may be getting confused is that Apple announced a few weeks back that  
64Bit Carbon will NOT be supported in future OS X releases. ( At  
least at the time of this writing).

Next, VTK depends on a very specific version of Tcl/Tk, which it  
builds. If you have your own version getting in the way, then you  
need to move that aside.

Next, try turning OFF Testing, then rebuilding.

Lastly, are you building against vtk5.0.3 release or a cvs version of  
VTK? If cvs, Why? Usually the release versions are pretty stable and  
usually build without problems on OS X.

Really lastly.. If all else failts, you could try upgrading to Xcode  
2.4.1 if that is possible for your situation. From the looks of your  
error my first inclination is your version of Tcl/Tk is conflicting  
with the version that VTK uses.
