If you don't need vtk(I am not sure - is it required for basic opencv?) you can build it without, simply tell cmake using a parameter to ignore vtk in build process.

ran into same problem (VTK7.0)

if you want to disable it:

cmake -DBUILD_opencv_viz=OFF -DWITH_VTK=OFF

Ahh thanks a lot! You're right, VTK isn't needed for what I want to do. Thanks!
