CMake could not find the VTKConfig.cmake
Solution 1
It seems like you just have the VTK source code but haven't built it yet. VTKConfig.cmake.in is a template used by CMake to generate the VTKConfig.cmake file in the build and install directory. Look at http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Building to see how to build VTK.
Solution 2
When you have successfully built VTK you can give CMake a hint where to look for VTK with the VTK_DIR
-parameter:
cmake -DVTK_DIR=/path/to/vtk/build-directory /path/to/your/source-directory
Solution 3
If you have successfully built VTK, you would end up with a VTK-Release-build
folder containing all the build files, one of which is VTKConfig.cmake
. Your program is not able to find this file. You just need to set an environment variable named VTK_DIR
before running your program. You can do so by running:
export VTK_DIR=/path/to/VTK-Release-build/

I'm trying to compile a program in CMake but I'm getting this error.
By not providing "FindVTK.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "VTK", but CMake did not find one. Could not find a package configuration file provided by "VTK" (requested version 6.1) with any of the following names: VTKConfig.cmake vtk-config.cmake
I can't find the relevant files (VTKConfig.cmake or vtk-config.cmake) on the machine but do have VTKConfig.cmake.in (which also doesn't work). Does anyone know where I can download the file form, or what I might be doing wrong.

Olumide over 3 yearsI've built VTK but there is no
VTKConfig.cmake
to be found anywhere. There is avtk-config.cmake
though but I'm not sure if its the same thing. HasVTKConfig.cmake
been deprecated?
