[Paraview] Batch, X and MPI

[Kent Eschenberg]

To review: I'm trying to get pvbatch 2.4.4 to run without an X server.

ccmake was run, the flag was set to on, and cmake was asked to regenerate the make files. I verified that the flag was on by looking at CMakeCache.txt and reran make. But I still get the message

======
ERROR: In /usr/local/packages/paraview/2.4.4/src/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 477
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (141757600): bad X server connection.

I thought that pvbatch was fixed over a year ago so that it didn't need an X server. Have I perhaps missed some other flag?

This has become an urgent problem here and any advice would be much appreciated.
