Hi Michael,

Well, I'm going to wipe my machine and start clean. I inherited it from 
a Linux guy (I think he updated OpenGL to incompatible version) and then 
I butchered it by adding FLTK (probably the wrong version), ITK and VTK 
in various poorly chosen directories like /Developer/Applications (prior 
to your advice in another post). I will keep things in my home directory 
going forward or installed in Users/Shared.

I'm also going to look at Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/) unless you 
think I should stay away from it?
