[vtkusers] Begineer Question

[Mike Jackson]

VTK_DIR is the directory where you _BUILT_ VTK. So typically you have  
an out of source build so if you unzipped your source in C:\Program  
Files\VTKSource, the you should have made another directory possibly,  
C:\Program Files\VTKBuild  where you actually built VTK. If you have  
not built VTK yet, stop and do that first.

  If you need help building VTK, just reply back to the mailing list  
and we can give you some help.
