Sorry, mail client sent too soon... in the cmake-gui you should tick
advanced and ensure Module_vtkFiltersReebGraph is ticked and that will
build/install that module. The headers are likely missing because the
module is not enabled. The vtkFiltersReebGraphModule.h header is
generated by CMake for the module, and you would need to ensure you
link to the vtkFiltersReebGraph module.
