Couple of things to ask:
    Are you using Makefiles or Xcode for your project?
    Did you actually "Install" the vtk libs in /usr/local/lib? (sudo  
make install from the vtk build tree?)

It looks as though the compile process found the headers ok but not  
the libraries.

Basically, the linker is looking in the following locations for the  
vtk libraries:
-L/Users/Heidegger/maftest2/bin
-L/usr/local/lib
in addition to the default locations of /usr/lib.

You may want to make sure the vtk libraries are actually located in  
one of those locations.
