Error in configuration process, Project files may be invalid

I'm new to CMake. I copied a small vtk example from the link http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/IO/SimplePointsReader and used CMake to compile. And it gives me an error, " Error in configuration process, Project files may be invalid".

It shows me the errors,

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package): By not providing "FindVTK.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "VTK", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "VTK" with any of the following names:

VTKConfig.cmake
vtk-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "VTK" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "VTK_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "VTK" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

I have already installed vtk in my pc and please help me with this problem.

CMakeLists.txt contains the following code

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

PROJECT(SimplePointsReader)

find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

add_executable(SimplePointsReader MACOSX_BUNDLE SimplePointsReader)

if(VTK_LIBRARIES)
  target_link_libraries(SimplePointsReader ${VTK_LIBRARIES})
else()
  target_link_libraries(SimplePointsReader vtkHybrid vtkWidgets)
endif()

I've solved this problem by setting VTK_DIR=path_to_VTK/bin as an environment variable, because CMakeList.txt file's changing was not helpful.
