[vtkusers] How to install vtk

[Doug Henry]

That looks like a link error on one of the examples, so the vtk libs may be 
built. You might want to try configuring (using cmake) to not build the 
examples and see if you get a clean build on just the libs. I have never 
tried 4.2, but I have built 4.4 using VC6 and borland free tools and it 
works. You should not need any external libs, such as Qt, just to build vtk.
