[vtkusers] getting started3

[Gib Bogle]

I am not a guru.  It looks to me as if your cmake configuration wants to use 
MPI.  I would go through the settings and look for one choosing MPI, and 
unselect it.

BTW you really should not put source code in C:/Program Files (x86)/, this is 
for executable programs.  I would do something like this:

C:/users/greg/vtk6.0.0  for the source code
C:/users/greg/vtk-build  for the build directory
C:/users/greg/vtk  for the install directory

Tastes differ.
