To get paraview to compile I edited my .bashrc file and added:

	CXX=/usr/bin/g++
	export CXX
	CC=/usr/bin/cc
	export CC

cc make reports the following error:

	VTK specific hacks go here in VTKCompatibility
 
	It is impossible to order the linker search path in such a 
	way that libraries specified as full paths will be picked by 
	the  linker.
	Directories and libraries involved are:
	Directory: /usr/X11R6/lib64 contains:
	Library: /usr/lib64/libGL.so
	Library: /usr/lib64/libGLU.so
	
	Directory: /usr/lib64 contains:
	Library: /usr/X11R6/lib64/libX11.so
	Library: /usr/X11R6/lib64/libXext.so

I compiled anyway and typed paraview from a command shell and got:

	bash-3.00$paraview
	ParaView error: InitializeTcl failed
	Tcl_Init error: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following 
	directories:
		/usr/local/lib/tcl8.4 
	/home/msh/documents/Installers/Linux/ParaView/lib/tcl8.4 
	/home/msh/documents/Installers/Linux/lib/tcl8.4 
	/home/msh/documents/Installers/Linux/ParaView/library 
	/home/msh/documents/Installers/Linux/library 
	/home/msh/documents/Installers/Linux/tcl8.4.5/library 
	/home/msh/documents/Installers/tcl8.4.5/library /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4
	
	 
	
	This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

I then added the following to my .bashrc (thanks again to a reply from a 
reader of this mailing list):
	
	TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib64/paraview-2.4/tcl8.4
	export TCL_LIBRARY

Now I get:

	bash-3.00$paraview

	bash-3.00$

Any ideas how to fix this one? 


P.S.
I have emerged X11 with the opengl USE flag set, which should mean the openGL 
features are enabled.
