[vtkusers] VTK on Mac

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Frederika,

I'm copying your e-mail back to the vtkusers list. Please keep the 
discussion there rather than e-mailing me directly.

It looks like your current problem is with building CMake. When you 
untarred the cmake-2.0.3.tar.gz file, there should have been a CMake.pdf 
file in the top-level (cmake-2.0.3) directory. On the first page of that 
PDF, there are instructions for building and installing CMake. It looks 
like you skipped the configure step. After you cd into the cmake-2.0.3 
directory, you should do "./configure", and when that finishes, then you 
should do "make".

- Amy
