I doubt if you have built and install VTK properly. I have VTK installed in
'C:\Program Files\VTK' because I set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in CMake as
it. Your VTK will be in the directory you set for CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in
CMake.
You must build INSTALL to make VTK really installed - just like typing 'make
install' if you are using concole, which will create the include and lib
directories and all the header files and lib files for you.
By the way, I am using VTK 5.0.2 and CMake 2.4.
And the last hint: Don't criticize others for non-complete solution. These
people are trying to help you. Think carefully over your problem and others'
answers and try to ask right questions.
Good luck.
