yes, there is part of the problem,  I'm completely new in Xcode, API  
under MAC OS X and all the other stuff.

I have to do a little research project for university course and I  
thought to learn all, after installed VTK... I'm a fool, now I know :D

It's possible to have a link or the name of some book to have an idea  
of this world?!

thanks a lot
