[Paraview] building paraview and undefined reference to __ctype_b

[Leila Baghdadi]

Hi everyone 

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have had the above error when 
building paraview for the past couple of days and lots of links on the web 
mentioned that there is some kind of a bug with glibc and redhat9.0 which 
creates this error.

I was trying to add an extra class to vtk today and was linking against 
the libraries sitting at my home/lib where I noticed the same error. 

so it turned out that I had build my home copy of gcc 2 years ago and when 
I updated to redhat9.0 and it came with gcc-3.2.2, I forgot to remove 
those old libraries from home/lib.

and paraview builds successfully!

thought you guys might like to know
