The CMakeLists code that checks for this is pretty straight forward:

# Disallow in-source build
IF("x${ParaView_SOURCE_DIR}x" MATCHES "^x${ParaView_BINARY_DIR}x$")
  MESSAGE(FATAL_ERROR "ParaView requiers out of source Build. Please create
a separate binary directory and run CMake there.")
ENDIF("x${ParaView_SOURCE_DIR}x" MATCHES "^x${ParaView_BINARY_DIR}x$")

You should only see that message if your source and binary directories are
the same. Double check your settings/directories and if you still have the
problem email your CMakeCache.txt file. You can also try sticking a 

MESSAGE("MY BIN DIR IS ${ParaView_BINARY_DIR} my src dir is
${ParaView_SOURCE_DIR}")
 Into the CMakeLists.txt file at the top of your source directory to see
what those values are.

Thanks
