The problem seems to be in the part of configure that extracts the vtkversion ,
vtkmajor=`grep "define VTK_MAJOR_VERSION" $VTK_INC/vtkConfigure.h | sed -e "s/#define VTK_MAJOR_VERSION[ ]*//g"` These lines dont seem to be getting the version correctly and are instead returning blanks. I looked a bit deeper into the vtk include files and this information is in vtkVersionMacros.h instead of in vtkConfigure.h In spite of this, the code seems to be defaulting to those files while trying to link.
