Question

 CMake Error at Rendering/OpenGL/CMakeLists.txt:304 (message):
   X11_Xt_LIB could not be found.  Required for VTK X lib.

Have you tried `sudo apt-get install libxt-dev` then rerun CMake? — Fraser, May 08 '14 at 00:00

Try to install libxt-dev using:

sudo apt-get install libxt-dev

And at least it works for me, and my OS version is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

To compile VTK you will probably have to install `libglew-dev` too (but the error should appear before `X11_Xt`). Note this is unrelated to `libxt-dev` – Victor Lamoine Jun 07 '18 at 07:44
