If there are problems encountered with ParaView, then it may be necessary to
compile ParaView from sources. The compilation
is a fairly simple process using the makeParaView script
(found in ThirdParty directory), which has worked in our tests with other
packages supplied in the ThirdParty directory, namely cmake-2.6.4 and
gcc-4.3.3. Execute the following:
