Hello. I am trying to install VTK using Qt4 using the guide to this page (http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Configure_and_Build). One of the steps in configuring Qt4.8 was running the following command:

cmake -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:PATH=/path/to/qt-4.8.6-build/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6/bin/qmake -DVTK_Group_Qt:BOOL=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBRARIES:BOOL=ON /path/to/VTK

I had some trouble running this command, until I noticed that the -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:PATH option gives the path includes qmake at the end. Once I removed qmake from the end of the option, I was able to run cmake no problem

I just wanted to post this as it seems like this may be a small documentation error that can throw off the installation.
