It depends on what you want to do.<br>
By default "make install" will move all the libraries and binaries to
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib.<br>
By defining the "prefix" variables, you can specify other installation
locations.<br>
<code>ex:<br>
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = /opt/VTK</code><br>
<br>
If you don't run "make install" or have specified non-standard
installation locations, you will have to specify the path to the
libraries everytime you want to compile something against them (export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=..., -L/path/lib, etc).<br>
<br>
Another advantage of "make install" is that it will normally install
the QVTK plugin in Qt Designer as I said.<br>
<br>
My recommendations:<br>
-If you already have VTK installed through a package for example,
install to /opt/VTK-version<br>
-If you don't have VTK already installed, just run "make install" with
the default locations.<br>
