[vtk-developers] Location of tcl libs

[Bill Lorensen]

For some reason my CMakeCache.txt file had an internal variable
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH set to the vtk bin directory. I have not cleaned
this cache for a few weeks. I suspect that something was fixed
regarding the tcl wrapping.

I deleted the internal cache variable and all seems fine now.

Thanks,

Bill
