[vtkusers] VTK Python Wrapping OSX 10.9

[Michka Popoff]

Hi

if you need an easy install way on OS X 10.9, you may try installing vtk through homebrew.
There are formulas for VTK 5 and VTK 6 which contain the right options to install on OS X.
(Installation goes with "brew install vtk --with python")

You can also try my binaries, which are installable through homebrew (https://github.com/iMichka/homebrew-MacVTKITKPythonBottles)
In this case you don't even have to compile VTK :)

The error you get is often due to a python library mismatch. Cmake is picking up the wrong libraries (the python lib does not correspond to the python executable).
Do you have mutliple pythons installed ?
You can also check the python paths in cmake (especially the path of the PYTHON_LIBRARY).
