[vtkusers] using Xcode for debugging VTK C++ examples?

[Michael Jackson]

That is because the generated libraries do not have their path encoded in the libraries so the executables do not know where to find them. Basically you need to set the "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" to the "bin" directory inside the binary directory. This is probably done through some property the executable in the Xcode project, or maybe on a global for all executables somewhere in the Xcode project. 
  Maybe there is an option somewhere in the building of VTK to have those paths set in the generated libraries. Not sure. Probably something about BUILD_DIR or running from BUILD_DIR or something like that. It has been a very long time since I have built VTK, but that _is_ the problem.
