Comment(by thomas.mccullough@…):

 This might be a total red herring, and I'm sorry if it is...

 I'm using snow leopard, and the python25 build is not complete on SL
 (framework stuff missing). One side effect of this is that the dylib used
 for creating wrappers is missing. When I tried to compile vtk5 a while
 back, it failed with a nonsensical message. I'm sorry that I don't
 remember what it was, but I thoroughly checked out the debug output and
 realized the trouble actually was python25 and the partial build. This
 will apparently not be fixed, by the way. The vtk-devel port allows the
 use python26.

 You don't mention which version of osx you are using, but if you are using
 SL, this might be the problem.
