[Vv] trying to install vv on MacOSX yosemite: ITK problem

[Simon Rit]

Hi,
Thanks for sharing. I don't know why I did not run into this. What I do is:
1/ Clone VTK
git clone git://vtk.org/VTK.git
2/ Go to the laste v5 release
git checkout v5.10.1
3/ Compile with clang
Is this a VTK version problem? I enabled the default + QT but I don't think
I disabled anything.

For VV/CLITK, I enabled Module_ITKReview in ITK, maybe that's the trick?
I wish you only good surprises from now on!
Simon
