[vtkusers] Error warning when I install the VTK

[David E DeMarle]

Hi Andrew,

When cmake is configuring the build for the example it doesn't know where
to find VTK. In cmake-gui, you can tell it where to look by filling in the
VTK_DIR variable. Alternatively you can build the INSTALL target of the VTK
solution, which will put the VTK headers and libraries into a standard
location where the example should find it automatically.
