Re: Octaviz installation on Mac but first need VTK, and possibly also Cmake

[Marius Schamschula]

Henry,

Using finK, or for that DarwinPorts, cause your packages to be 
installed outside of the normal search path (i.e. /sw for fink and 
/opt/local for DP). There is a reason why I generally build things into 
/usr/local...

 You'll have to fool around with LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to point things 
into the right direction.
