[vtkusers] Troubles Compiling on SuSE linux

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Matt,
	I think your 'OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR' variable is not set properly. Open 
CMakeCache.txt with your favorite editor (or use ccmake) to change it to 
the correct path.
	You should look for the file gl.h on your computer. For example if 
there is a file /matt/include/GL/gl.h the correct dir is: '/matt/include/'
