To build off CVS I have a trivial shell script called vtkcc that does
the job.

--------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

# Edit this file to suit your needs

VTK_PATH=_path_to_/cvs/VTK

g++ -I$VTK_PATH -I$VTK_PATH/Common -I$VTK_PATH/Filtering \
-I$VTK_PATH/Graphics -I$VTK_PATH/Hybrid -I$VTK_PATH/IO \
-I$VTK_PATH/Imaging -I$VTK_PATH/Patented \
-I$VTK_PATH/Rendering -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 \
-L $VTK_PATH/lib -lvtkCommon -lvtkFiltering -lvtkGraphics \
-lvtkHybrid -lvtkIO -lvtkImaging -lvtkPatented -lvtkRendering $@
--------------------------------------------------

Modify the -L $VTK_PATH/lib to the directory that contains the
libraries (libvtk*).  Copy the above to a file, make it executable and
then compile away using vtkcc instead of cc.  Something like so:

vtkcc test.c -o test -O2 -g
