I don’t think I know what a “meta-VTK” is referring to. Could you be more specific?

Sorry for the late reply and thank you.  
`meta-vtk` is a meta-layer for the VTK (Virtual Toolkit) library for integration with the Yocto Project.

Sorry, I’m not familiar enough to provide guidance on Yocto; I might suggest opening an issue on that repo or asking Yocto folks. I do see that it appears to be VTK-6.1.0 which is…old.
