 vtk5 is sensitive to the versions of the X11 and opengl libraries that are
 used.  The most recent vtk5 port (as of 4/24/09) uses macports libX11 but
 apple libGL (${x11prefix}/lib/libGL.dylib).  This results in a Bus error
 on Tiger.  I found it was insufficient to simply use the opengl libraries
 provided by the mesa port (${prefix}/lib/libGL.dylib), which also resulted
 in a Bus error.  However, by also using X11.app provided by the port xorg-
 server, it works!  Attached is a patch for the Portfile to add xorg-server
 as a dependency for Tiger and to specify the libGl in ${prefix}.
