[vtkusers] problems installing shared libraries on OSX (fixed)

[Garry Willgoose]

  Mike, David Sean,

Your advice seems to have fixed this. My summary is as below.

I have my own install of 8.4.13 and pointing to this instead seems to  
be OK so far. I guess we'll see if any code crashes but at least it  
built OK.

This seems to be important.

I am using Tk so this is not an option but seems not to have been  
important.

I have ActiveState Python 2.5 installed as my default alongside the  
standard Mac version 2.3. I changed the make so it pointed to 2.5.

Thanks for your help
