[vtkusers] OSX Mountain Lion - shared libraries

Thanks, David.  Is there anything special I need to do to use shared libraries (besides the CMake switch ?)
My current install directory is the VTK build directory - perhaps this needs to change so that the library gets recognized?

Currently I am linking to static libraries.

Hi Aaron,

You should be able to build VTK master with any version of OS X from
10.5 through to 10.9, with either static or with shared libraries.

My default builds have always been shared builds.   It has never the
case that VTK was limited to static builds on any operating system, as far as I am aware.

  David
