[Paraview] pvserver cannot find shared library

[Huan Sun]

Hi Berk,

Yes, I downloaded the source code of version 3.6.1. And I checked the
VTK_USE_RPATH and it was on. 
The only warning I got when configuring paraview with ccmake is I am
using QT 4.6, whereas the official support is 4.3. 
Could that be a problem?

Thanks a lot for the help!

Huan
