Thank you very much, Amy. It works properly now.

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.
