Hello, I've followed the instruction on page 1 without any problem (installing CMake). Then at the beginning of page 2, problems begins. First of all, the given password for the VTK source server is false. It is vtk instead of VTK. Then, when it comes to this line: cmake ../VTK an error occurs: cmake: Command not found I'll guess I have to told the system where is the cmake Command, but, as I'm new to this stuff, I'm unable to do it. Could you please tell me how I get my system to locate the cmake command? Many thanks in advance Michèle

  After installing cmake sucessfully, it will be in /usr/local/bin/cmake. Did you remember to do a rehash command? Once that's done, you can use the which command and it should reveal the location of cmake.
  
  The article is a tad confusing because the right place to install VTK is in the /Develop folder, where you should be when installing the source code with CVS. The author misspeaks when he says he put VTK in the root directory. The root directory means / and I think he means the root of the /Develop directory.

  hi Michele,
  
  Build the VTK files from the /develop/osxBin directory.
  
  cd /Develop/osxBin
  cmake ../VTK
  
  Let me know how the G3 build goes. I'll update the readme files for VTK installation. Most developers are using G4s.
