QTCreator won't find headers for QTVTK Widget?

Hello I added a Qtvtk widget in QtCreator to my window and then tried to build and run the program, I then received a error saying that some headers were missing.

I would like to emphasize that I didn't add any of my own code yet, I just dragged and dropped from the toolkit the widget.

Now maybe I'm not thinking this correctly but if the item appears in the toolkit and is doped without a problem, the headers should be accessible or else it wouldn't have appeared in the toolkit.

I'd like to mention I'm working on Ubuntu, I haven't installed VTK on it's own but with the PCL package, a library which uses VTK for it's visualizer,so there maybe something funny with my library installation orders.

The headers which can't be found:

#include "vtkSystemIncludes.h"
#include "vtkABI.h"

The error itself, yes it's win32 and I'm on linux, is:

/usr/include/QVTKWin32Header.h:23: error: vtkSystemIncludes.h: No such file or directory

So if there is something more to be done so I can use the widget please tell me.

Have you Properly Compiled and linked the Library to the Project? Have you also linked the Source files to the Project?

include the source by adding "INCLUDEPATH += path_to_source*" to your .pro file e.g INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../src for a source located in the directory up the present working directory with name src

and library by adding "LIBS += -L path_to_compiled_library" to your .profile

If already done and Not working, Double check to ensure that the path is correct..
