[Paraview] Library not loading due to reason "image not found".

[Mike Jackson]

Try building ParaView with "RPATH ON" for OS X. OR do as Ken writes  
and you will need to set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to the <path omitted>/ 
Paraview_build/bin/ directory.

<history/informatio>
   OS X has the notion of the "install_name" for dylibs. OS X will  
encode the path to the library inside the actual library itself so  
when another library or application links to the library the  
application/library will know where to find it thus obviating the  
need for the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is good and bad. Good because  
you shouldn't have to set environment variables. BAD because if you  
move those libraries somewhere else then everything breaks.

There are "special" install_name prefixes that can be used to get  
around all this but I think in your case you need to rerun ccmake and  
set the VTK_USE_RPATH to ON.

OR you can run paraview FROM the <path omitted>/Paraview_build/bin/  
directory. OS X will always look in the current directory for dylibs.

so from a terminal your session might look like the following:

$ make
$ cd bin
$ paraview.app/Contents/MacOS/paraview

{ParaView should now launch}.

Try all that and let's see what happens.
