It seems a bug of the VTK.
The error occurs with python but tcl in original vtk
See the thread started from 
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2006-February/083797.html

To avoid it, you can
1. insert "INCLUDE(${VTK_SOURCE_DIR}/CMake/vtkTclTkMacros.cmake)" to 
vtkDetermineTkResources.cmake, as they said,
or
2. set "VTK_USE_TK" OFF. You can find "VTK_USE_TK" as "Advanced Value" 
after you once fail to configure and see the error message and check 
"Show Advanved Values".

As you can see in "/Program 
Files/CMake-*/share/CMake/Module/FindRuby.cmake",
it assume that ruby.h is at /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-linux and 
libruby1.8.so at /usr/lib.
It can be true, but sometimes false especially in Windows.
So you have to tell the VTK where they are.
