[vtkusers] VTK and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

[Mike Jackson]

The libvtkCommon.5.1.dylib was most likely built _without_ any  
"install_name" encoded into the library. You have a few choices.

1) You can copy all the vtk libraries into /Users/chris/Developer/ 
Space/mesh2vtk/mesh2vtk.app/Contents/MacOS

2) You can rebuild vtk using an "rpath"

3) You can use "install_name_tool" to add the path to the library  
into the libvtkCommon.5.1.dylib library.

I highly suggest #2 above.

If this application is something that you are going to pass around to  
others in your group then you will want to investigate how to put an  
install_name of "@executable_path/../libs/" onto _each_ vtk library,  
then copy those libraries into your application package.
