[Paraview] No rendering output

A screenshot would be nice. Also, can you try to run with the -r option?
This option enables software rendering. I have never tested the IRIX 
binary with SGI OpenGL since I only have remote access to SGIs. I have
always used software rendering (Mesa) on Octanes and that worked.
If there are ParaView users which have access to SGIs, I would 
appreciate it if they try the SGI binary and let me know know if they
have the same problem.

Which version of CMake are you using ? You will need CMake 1.4.5
or later to build ParaView.

Which option is this ? Are you using cmake -i or ccmake ?
