Henry Basically, "ccmake ." (or "cmake .") is equivalent to "./configure [options]". Instead of autogen tools, cmake tools are used. What is your trouble with "ccmake ." exactly? Just change your directory in your shell to wherever you expanded the Octaviz source. Then run $ ccmake . You should get a ascii text menu that displays various options, among them the directory where vtk libs are detected (e.g. /usr/local/lib/vtk) and the install parent directory (e.g. /usr). Press 'c' to configure and 'g' to generate. If there are problems (e.g vtk libs can't be found), then you will get errors. If you get errors, let us know what they are and maybe we can help. Jonathan P.S. There is a "octaviz-help" list, but only 2 people are currently subscribed (Henry and myself). This thread is on the octave help list so that Henry can get Macintosh specific help, which I don't know much about. Henry F.
