this looks like the "VTK_USE_X" option was set to "OFF" when
configuring VTK through CMake.  Could you check that setting?  Or was
it disabled by intention?

Anyway, I would think that the error you posted should not happen, but
in case you actually want to compile with X11 support, enabling that
option might just solve your problem.
