Question

I installed VTK on my mac successfully using the following steps

How to install VTK 6.1 for OSX 10.8 with Cocoa/XCode support?

Any tips would be helpful

Answer 1

It turns out I had to add the following two libraries -lc++ -lz. I found the answer in the following two links:

• crc32() missing when building libzip on OSX 10.9

• STD linker error with Apple LLVM 4.1
