[Paraview] Newbie question

[Kent Eschenberg]

Hi Eric,

Well, for starters, it would help if you mentioned what system and version 
you are using. The directory you mentioned suggests you are not using 
ParaView under Windows. Linux? UNIX? Which version of the operating system? 
And which version of ParaView? All that is good stuff for any request for 
help.

The mistake *I* always make is to run "make" and then forget to run "make 
install". By default this will put things in a public area like /usr/local 
so you might need su privileges.

Kent
