You seem to have the same problem as many people who are following the online instructions (which seem out of date). If you install vtk7 instead, then you should be fine. If you don't feel comfortable with installing from the command line, you can use synaptic to look for what's available and install from there. You can also find the libvtkX-qt-dev package from there too.

~$ sudo apt-get install libvtk7-dev
If that doesn't work, use a package manager
