Fail to build liggghts 3.8.0 without VTK support

Hello,
I tried building the latest release. Since I have trouble getting dump vtk to work, I started
by using the command
make auto

this built the model list and Makefile.user
In makefile.user i turned vtk support to off and tried compiling by
make clean-auto
make -j8 auto

and received the following
mpicxx -funroll-loops -fstrict-aliasing -Wall -Wno-unused-result -O2 -std=c++17 -DHAVE_TR1_CMATH -fPIC -DSUPERQUADRIC_ACTIVE_FLAG -DNONSPHERICAL_ACTIVE_FLAG -c ../dump_mesh_vtk.cpp
../dump_mesh_vtk.cpp:58:24: fatal error: vtkDataSet.h: No such file or directory

I then tried cleaning again and reran using just make auto. This led to the same error.

which mpicxx --> /usr/lib64/openmpi-1.10/bin/mpicxx
System --> Redhat 6.9

Please let me know if you require any other information....
