[vtkusers] VTK+Python on Mac OS X - no module named vtk error in Python

[David Gobbi]

Hi Prashanth,

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is ignored on OS X, use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
instead.  This is how the variables are set on my system:

export PATH=/Volumes/Work/Kitware/vtk-build/bin:$PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Volumes/Work/Kitware/vtk-build/bin
export
PYTHONPATH=/Volumes/Work/Kitware/vtk-build/Wrapping/Python:/Volumes/Work/Kitware/vtk-build/lib
export TCLLIBPATH=/Volumes/Work/Kitware/vtk-build/Wrapping/Tcl/

 - David
