Please keep the discussion on the list so everyone can help and benefit.

Can you show us the CMakeLists.txt file you are trying to use to build
the sphere example?

It should look like this:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/GeometricObjects/Sphere

You should link to vtkHybrid. It looks like you are trying to link to vtkalglib.
