Hello,
I can not confirm this problem. With default settings i get some 
warnings - no errors. Afaik the vtkConfigure.h is created in the 
buildprocess by one of the created executables - so you dont have to 
select one manually. So check wether your build created vtkConfigure.h - 
here it is located in the root of the vtkbin. I am not so familiar with 
the CMakeList-files that i can help you out with this.

I used CMake 2.2.3 - latest stable release on www.cmake.org. Is v2.3.4 
from the cvs-tree ?
Other Environment looks really the same: VS 2005 Prof. on WinXP/XP64 Prof.

I will send you the requested vtkConfigure.h.

Greets,
Tom
