[vtkusers] vtk installation error(LINUX)

[Alexander MacLennan]

Hi Deepak,

You need to tell cmake where the include ( .h )  and libraries are ( .so
etc.. ) files are so it can create the build scripts

for example:

opengl_gl_library will be the full path to libGL.so  e.g.
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
opengl_include_dir will be the name of the directory that contains the
header files used by opengl   e.g. /usr/include/GL .. or even /usr/include

You'll need to do the same for python and tk
