make auto with VTK support error

Dear colleagues,

I need to install LIGGGHTS with VTK support. I compiled VTK by using these instructions

http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Configure_and_Build#Download_And_Install_CMake

I hope it was successfully installed. Then I followed these instructions

https://www.cfdem.com/media/DEM/docu/Section_start.html

I made "ln -s vtk-8.1 vtk. VTK is installed in /usr/local/include. When I try to use "make auto", this error will occur

Makefile:538: *** Could not obtain VTK_MAJOR_VERSION. Stop.

make: *** [auto] Error 2

I tried to define the path in a file Makefile.user in /src/MAKE, but then an error is occured as well

Makefile:538: *** Could not obtain VTK_MAJOR_VERSION. Stop.

make: *** [auto] Error 2

I am really helpless now. Did somebody have simillar problem?
