I've given it a try once again with 2.4.2, and it is still a problem.

Executing with the full path (/opt/paraview/2.4.2/bin/paraview) works
fine, but adding that bin directory to my path and executing 'paraview'
gives

ParaView error: InitializeTcl failed
Tcl_Init error: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following
directories:
    /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4 /opt/src/rpm/RPMS/lib/tcl8.4 /opt/src/rpm/lib/tcl8.4 /opt/src/rpm/RPMS/library /opt/src/rpm/library /opt/src/rpm/tcl8.4.5/library /opt/src/tcl8.4.5/library /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4
This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

I'm using the unmodified 2.4.2 distribution configured (per Brad King's
suggestion) as:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=RELEASE ..
cmake -DPV_INSTALL_BIN_DIR=/bin \
      -DPV_INSTALL_LIB_DIR=/lib \
      -DPV_INSTALL_DATA_DIR=/share \
      -DPV_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIR=/include \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/paraview/2.4.2 ..

I'm building an rpm, so I'm installing it in a temporary root tree
for packaging:

make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/paraview-root
