So if I turn on RPATH, and rpath uses -install_name, where do I actually specify the RPATH to use? or can I specify the path at all?
Enabling VTK_USE_RPATH is intended for developers to be able to run VTK programs from the build tree without installing or setting any environment variables. It always sets the install_name to point to the full path to each library in the build tree. This is why installation is disabled.
CMake does not currently support a user-configured rpath or install_name. If CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH is ON then no rpath is generated and install_name is set to the name of the library. If CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH is OFF then rpath and install_name both point to the build tree locations.
CMake support for specifying an rpath/install-name is planned but has not yet been implemented.
If you intend to just distribute a binary for your application then you can work around this limitation as follows. First build VTK with VTK_USE_RPATH set to ON. Use a build tree with a really long name. Then build your application against the VTK build tree. Copy the libraries to your application tree and use install_name_tool to change the install_name. There will easily be enough room allocated because of the long build tree name.
