[Paraview] Anyone have a successful IRIX64 build?

[Gage, Kenneth]

Hi there -

I've had zero success in building the latest devel and stable versions of ParaView on our Octane2. Because of problems with building the included HDF5 (seems to be a bug) I've been attempting to build HDF5 first and tell ccmake where to find it. 

I would greatly appreciate any hints, tips, tricks, suggestions, guidance, and maybe even simple riddles from any folks who have built the latest ParaView successfully on their IRIX64 box.  I was going for a 64 bit, parallel build with the IRIX MPT libs; If there are any special flags passed to the HDF5 configure script that would be really handy -  I think I'm matching everything between HDF5 and ParaView but since it still isn't working I have my concerns. I'd be glad to make a synopsis and put it in the ParaView Wiki for other IRIX folks to use - I can usually type stuff up successfully. :)

For those interested, my 64-bit nonparallel build completes (as does the parallel build) but ParaView dies with a signal 11 before bringing up any GUI.  The stack trace is included below and appears to indicate a memory allocation problem; Again - I appreciate your help and apologize in advance if I have done something stupid.  Please let me know if there is some other information that would be useful to post for debugging purposes.

all the best -
Ken
