a recent upgrade of the system caused builds for vtk (both 5.10.0 and 5.10.1) to fail with the following error (v5.10.1 given as example, but both version produce the same error):

==========
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
R_LIBRARY_BASE
    linked by target "vtkGraphics" in directory /var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/vtk-5.10.1/work/VTK5.10.1/Graphics
    linked by target "vtkGraphics" in directory /var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/vtk-5.10.1/work/VTK5.10.1/Graphics
==========

Looking on the net I find the following possible explination <http://vtk.org/Bug/bug_relationship_graph.php?bug_id=10779&graph=relation>:

"...the[re] is no libR{lapack,blas}.so anmore, but everything is included in libRmath.so..." with notes for a patch they use on Gentoo.

I have not had time to track down, integrate, and test the patch.

The build log is "required" too.

The problem turned out to be a subtle issue with an R update.  The details can be found here:

I was able to build sci-libs/vtk-5.10.0
