Andreas,

I have not had any problems with paraview-2.4.3 on my G5 with OS X 10.3.9.
Currently, there are also reported build problems for PowerPC Macs with OS X
10.4.6 with the open source products octave and R. Apparently, the same
builds work without problems on the new Intel Macs with 10.4.6. I monitor
the Apple scitech list, and, while the problems are being reported, there is
no word from Apple about the existence of the problem or if it will be fixed
soon. I suspect that they are swamped supporting the new Intel platform.

Maybe we should ask for the paraview website to add the the 2.4.2 version
until the problem is cleared.
