[vtkusers] Compiling error: VTK not found

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Dzung,

Did you run ccmake before you tried to build the Cone.cxx example? If 
not, do that. One of the CMake variables that will be listed is VTK_DIR. 
Set that variable to the path to VTKConfig.cmake.

Once you have had ccmake generate the necessary makefiles, then run make 
to build the example.
