Why do you want to use 4.2?

Well, does /Users/aurelien/Library/VTK/bin/libvtkzlib.a exist?  I
suspect not.  So maybe the compilation failed?  Were there compilation
errors from the 'cmake .' step?  I found that the 4.2 and 4.4 code does
not build at all (at least on 10.4 w gcc 4) and so I am using the newest
code from CVS which, for me anyway, builds and runs fine.  I suggest you
get the code from CVS and try again.
