Guys a very beginner question.
I’ve tried to build ITK pointing it to VTK\_build, but no success so far.
I’ve done that before, but do not remember and cannot find it elsewhere…
Thanks!

More details are required, including the error message.

Initially, I build VTK. Everything goes ok…
Then I configure and generate ITK with the variable `Module_ITKVtkGlue` set as `ON`.
And then Build. Everything sounds OK.
Then I try to configure and generate an ITK project through CMAKE-GUI, set ITK\_DIR,
but it says:
```
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "ItkVtkGlue" with
any of the following names:
ItkVtkGlueConfig.cmake
itkvtkglue-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "ItkVtkGlue" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"ItkVtkGlue_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"ItkVtkGlue" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.
```
That is it?

Naturally, in my CmakeLists.txt I call `ItkVtkGlue`!

In that case ITKVTKGlue is just a normal module, you don’t need to “call it” from CMakeLists.txt, just as you wouldn’t do it for ITKCommon or ITKSmoothing.

You mean that I don’t really need to call:
```
find_package(ItkVtkGlue REQUIRED)
include(${ItkVtkGlue_USE_FILE})
set(Glue ItkVtkGlue)
```
in my `CMakeLists.txt` file, even if I call it in my `.cpp` main file?!
