[Paraview] Configuring ParaView with OpenMPI

[Cally K]

Hi everyone,

And first, thanks alot for the replies.. it was very helpful!!!
I have built paraview now with open mpi.. and I followed this instruction
from Sean.. I think what caused the error in the first place was the way  my
openmpi was configure, I choose to build static libraries and used that in
my cmake confguration. I compiled my openmpi again using shared libraries
option and it worked. Thanks alot.

MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/demarle/Libraries/MPI/OpenMPI/build/lib/libmpi_cxx.so

//Path to a file.
MPI_INCLUDE_PATH:PATH=/home/demarle/Libraries/MPI/OpenMPI/build/include

//Path to a library.
MPI_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/demarle/Libraries/MPI/OpenMPI/build/lib/libmpi.so
