More progress. I'm pretty sure that the memory error I'm seeing is due to
VTK being compiled with clang++, and almost everything else being compiled
with g++ 4.8.

In short, it's impossible to compile VTK with GCC on a Mac due to some
non-standard extensions in Apple header.

I could try compiling most of the dependencies I can think of with libc++.
If that doesn't work, then I doubt it's possible to build the development
versions of FEniCS packages on OS X 10.8.5.

Cheers,

Geoff
