[vtkusers] 'make install' issues

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Hi Chris,
  I think the 'make intall' is a bit complicated because of the python stuff. You have at
least two solutions:
- either use the rpm from : http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/vtk/
- or just modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to points to the directory where VTK is installed.
