Hi Sudhanshu:

Well I'm starting right now with VTK also in Ubuntu, but I prefer to use the
LTS versions so I'm running it in the Ubuntu 10.04.2.

If you have not too much experience inside the Linux world I suggest you to
install from System>Administration>Synaptics. Inside you can find a lot of
packages related with VTK.

For your purposes you should install the CMake package that is necessary for
run and compile C++ files and also if further you wanna use Paraview i.e.
You also will need to install
vtkdata
vtk-examples*
libvtk5.2
vtk-doc*
libvtk5dev
cmake

The examples and the documentation are optional but the other packages not.
Check the list of packages available and read the description, perhaps
you'll find useful another packages too.

About how to compile your c++ files I'm not sure, I think you should check
the gcc documentation for that.

Good luck.
