This "Converting Tcl test" is a python script that runs to convert the tcl
tests in the VTK source tree into python tests in the build tree to run for
your python-wrapped build. Why it fails, I don't know. Perhaps it is fixed
in CVS VTK because we have several Macs running dashboards with python
wrapping that do demonstrate that it works with CVS VTK...

Wrapping with python involves Tcl/Tk because of the ability to use Tk from
python... You may want to try setting VTK_USE_TK to OFF if you are not using
Tk from python...

Personally, I think the CVS version of VTK is better for use from a Mac.
There was some unexplored territory on the Mac when the VTK-5-0 branch was
created...
