[Paraview] Problem with cross-compile

Well, I was following the cross compiling page at:
http://paraview.org/ParaView3/index.php/Cross_compiling_ParaView3_and_VTK

But, in looking over the page you sent, it's pretty much the same thing. 
  I do a native build first, then an MPI build (on Cray it would be the 
Catamount build).  I point the "compile tools" to my native build. 
Unfortunately, the paths to the compile tools don't get set to the 
native build.

Thanks,
Sean
