[CMake] [vtk-developers] python, postgreSQL, VTK build

I had some choices on how to install MySQL and PostgreSQL on OS X (Leopard
Server, in my case).  There is a "default" install of MySQL for Leopard
server, but it had no development libraries that I could find.  There was no
default install of PostgreSQL.  I first tried macports, but I found some
problems with those installations (can't recall the details now).  I moved
to install binaries from the main web sites for both MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Those binary installs mostly take care of a few configuration issues
(although there are some startup and symlink issues for MySQL; I had to
create symlinks in /usr/bin to point to /usr/local/mysql/bin;
/usr/local/mysql is a symlink to /usr/local/mysql-<version>).  The
PostgreSQL installs into /Library/PostgreSQL/<version>/*

I started looking into dyld, but I'm not sure that's the problem here.

Is there a way I can run just the cmake utility that should find these
libraries?  I noticed in the ccmake curses interface that the libraries were
found or I just entered the "right" path values.  I'll double check that.

Thanks!
