[vtkusers] error: invalid conversion from 'GLint*' to 'long int*'

[Carl Trapani]

Thanks Sean. One more question if you (or anyone else) have time:

Can I build a C++ application that uses VTK for a machine running OS X 
10.4 if my machine is 10.5?

I'm thinking all I need to do is have two CMake Build directories and 
two SDKs (10.4 and 10.5) on my machine. Then, set CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT to 
the appropriate SDK for each build? Then, my application will link 
against one of the target VTK Builds. Is that overly complicated? Should 
I just make everyone move to 10.5 and give up 10.4?

Thanks,
Carl
