I strongly suspect this is an ITK problem, so I'd prefer to move 
discussion to the ITK users list.

The "USE_VTK" option was removed in ITK 1.4 because the VTK-dependent 
applications were moved into a separate "InsightApplications" tree 
outside of the main ITK tree.

In order to help you I'll need a bit more information.  Did ITK compile 
successfully and it is your application that includes both ITK and VTK 
that fails to build?  Also, please post the exact error messages your 
compiler produces.

Thanks,
