Hopefully you can find the most updated AM_PATH_VTK macro which I wrote in the VtkPlot CVS repository; in case the link breaks, here it is the current version which I use:

27 Nov 2007: The link is broken, and Francesco's original didn't work with the current build (5.0.3). I've made a few tweaks so that it does work. -- John Ralls

19 Jun 2008: Added a few fixes so that Debian's libvtk5-dev can be used. Also added fold markers and a vim modeline setting, for ease of reading. Fixed bug in which LDFLAGS was not being restored after compiling the test program. -- Luis Armendariz

10 Feb 2011: Change a few brackets to "test", which is more resilient against m4 quotation issues. Also, fix a few shell quoting issues. -- Ralf Wildenhues

dnl Implements the AM_OPTIONS_VTK, to add the --with-vtk=path option, and the
dnl AM_PATH_VTK macro used to detect VTK presence, location and version.
