Thanks for reporting this. It seems that you’ve forced Slicer to build with an old VTK version (or you have a build tree that was created before Slicer switched VTK version).

Slicer master requires Q5/VTK9 as described in [build instructions](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Build_Instructions).

Occasionally we still fix build errors with VTK7/Qt4 to make transition easier, but after release of Slicer-4.10 (within a few weeks), master version will not be compatible VTK7/Qt4 anymore. Therefore, it is recommended to update your build environment as soon as you can.
