[vtkusers] SimpleCocoaVTK build error: /usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lvtkIO

[Juan Vesa]

hi,
the reason i'm on 10.4 still is because i rely extensively on matlab  
for uni coursework and the version i have is only compatible with  
10.4 and i can't afford to upgrade yet.
however soon i'm going to set up an extra partition for 10.6 maybe to  
give it a try.

yeah i set the source tree's to the vtk-include and vtk-lib as  
outlined on the wiki, but the target in the xcode project has the  
HEADER_SEARCH_PATH and LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATH by default using a  
variable $(vtk-debug) which the
original rogue-research.com/vtk/SimpleCocoaVTK.html specifies to use.

at any rate, i found another site at cs.auckland.ac.nz/~jli023/vtk/ 
VtkprogammingonMac.htm which has a template (which i've not tried  
yet) and the cmake <path/to/source> -G Xcode command compiles the  
examples and i get a working xcode project from them (although i  
still get errors in cmake), so i guess i'll go from there.

thanks a lot for your help,,
