vtkDistanceFilter?  I don't see that in my source list.  Do you have a modified source build?

At any rate, I would try doing a clean build.  Run CMake from scratch to an empty binary directory and build everything over again.  I find that often solves problems of this nature.

You can get previous version of Qt from this Trolltech ftp site:

  ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/

There is a link on the Qt download page, but it is easy to miss.

Also, you could try to compile ParaView with Qt 4.4.0 by removing the check in the CMake files (ParaView3/CMakeLists.txt lines 91-95).  We discourage users from using the new early version so that we don't have to worry about issues with different version of Qt, but to my knowledge no one has found any problems.
