Hehe, told you guys I had no idea what I am doing here. turns out I need
Cmake to be installed (*looking very embarrassed now, though nobody did so
much as hinting Cmake is something one has to install*)

So I just did that. Installed 2.4 though not 2.6 (for now) Why?

Found a post from Jeremy Drysdale who tell a here tale of himself managing
to compile the VTK on his Xp64 system. So he's my hero for now, while I am
trying to follow his path.

Are there good reasons to use 2.6 instead?
Cheers
M.
