[Paraview] compilation error (typecast int* socklen_t* in vtkSocketCommunicator.cxx)

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Christoph,

	Can you check you have the proper include file:
	
	/usr/include/sys/socket.h

	In case you don't have it, do `sudo apt-get install libc6-dev`.

	The only case in which this error could happen would be that you 
installed this package after a first configuration of ParaView. Please 
delete the CMakeCache.txt and redo a cmake configure step.

Thanks
Mathieu
