I updated and the vtkConfigure.h check works fine with VTK v5.4.2.  The 
examples build and run okay.  One thing to note is that successful 
linking required VTK with shared libraries, otherwise there are numerous 
unresolved dependencies during linking.

As it turns out, the vtkCommonInstantiator.h file was located in the vtk 
build & install directories (not in the source path).  The failure to 
find this file was initially my fault.

Thanks for your help.
