I usually just use locate. This works because usually the name of the
directory in which a VTK file is found is the name of the library that
holds it as well.

locate tells me that vtkSphereSource.h is in the VTK/Graphics/ directory
so I add vtkGraphics to my TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES in my CMakeLists.txt. I
think you can just -lvtkGraphics as well.

vtkPolyDataMapper.h is in VTK/Rendering/ so I link against vtkRendering.
I always link against vtkCommon.
