[vtkusers] VTK-QT example build related..

I have VTK and QT installed and was trying to build the SimpleView 
example and
ran into a compile problem -- not able to find one of the include files 
(QVTKWidget.h).

Something in the environment is wrong, it seems. I was trying to dig 
deep into
how cmake finds stuff. I found that it uses the FindPackage() calls to 
get the
environment..

So I built VTK  under  my account but installed it under  /usr/local 
(that was set using
the INSTALL_PREFIX variable. So when I install it, shouldnt the 
VTK_USE_FILE variable
use the includes and libraries under /usr/local/vtk.../include/vtk-5.10/..?

Instead looking at the Cmake files
under  the SimpleView example, it is still looking for these in the 
original build
directory under my account.

What am I doing wrong in the installation? Also what Cmake variables 
should I turn on to
be able to build VTK-QT examples (using C++)? I think I did it right..
