[vtkusers] ANNOUNCE: vtk 6.0.0.rc1 is available to download

Wed May 22 12:48:21 EDT 2013

With VTK6 itself compiled, I tried switching my project to the new version.
I first tried building with static settings. When I started getting error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'QVTK.lib'

I looked around for solutions. This is what I found:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Tutorials/QtSetup (VTK_Group_Qt and
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)
but even after following this, the error remains.

Does anyone have suggestions about what to do?
