[vtkusers] Error when Building VTK

[Jorge Ballesteros]

Hi Vijay,

It seems that you have not properly set the OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR CMake
variable in the project configuration.

You should have to manually specifiy its value. Look for "glx.h" header
file in your system and set the OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR variable to the path
to this file, i.e. /usr/include/GL/.
