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

[Henry F. Mollet]

I checked SourceForge.net Project: octaviz and found nothing re octaviz
installation on Mac. Hopefully I'll get a hint here what I should try next.

Jonathan was correct: I was able to use Fink to install CMake1.8.3-1 and
VTK-py23 4.4.0-5. Many examples/demos are working using:
"vtk -f filename" or
"python -i filename" at the shell prompt.
So far so good.

Now I tried to install octaviz-0.4.0 from source and it failed (see below)
I've also tried to install in /usr/local/bin but it also failed (errors not
included).

[/sw/bin] -bash-2.05b 523$ ccmake /users/hfm/Desktop/octaviz-0.4.0

 The C compiler "gcc" is not able to compile a simple test program.
 It fails with the following output:


 CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.
