[Paraview] PV3 Example Plugins do not work

[Mike Jackson]

I have tried several ways to get this working but nothing seems to be  
working. I have tried the following:

OS X 10.4.11
   Rebuild from scratch including rerunning cmake on a clean build  
directory. I enabled the "Examples" option, turned on Shared libs and  
built. Running from the Build tree none of the plugins want to load  
either directly from the build tree or if I move them to the  
"plugins" directory in the app bundle. This was build against Qt 4.3.3.

I then moved my Qt 4.3.3 build onto an OS X 10.5.2 machine and  
rebuilt ParaView using Xcode 3.0 and I get the same result. This is  
with CMake 2.4.7 on both machines.

Here is my configure line for Qt:

   /Users/Shared/OpenSource/qt-4.3.3-ub/configure -fast -prefix / 
Users/Shared/Toolkits/Qt-4.3.3-UBLib/ -no-framework -universal - 
release -shared

I know at some level this works because a co-worker has a mac mini  
(intel) with 10.5.2 on it and the plugins loaded ok for him.

I guess I can start from scratch with compiles of everything.. CMake,  
Qt, ParaView3..


Again, thanks for any assistance that can be lent.
