Hi Brian,

Did you compile VTK with Tcl wrapping on? (Check whether VTK_WRAP_TCL is 
set to ON in CMake.) If Tcl wrapping is not on, then the vtk executable 
will not be created. If you did build the Tcl wrapping, then check the 
value of the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX CMake variable. Based on where your 
include files (/usr/local/include/VTK 5.0), I would expect the vtk 
executable to be in /usr/local/bin.
