[Paraview] pvserver cannot find shared library

[Berk Geveci]

If you set VTK_USE_RPATH to OFF, recompile and reinstall, the problem
should disappear. Alternatively, you can set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
where the ParaView libraries are. You need to do that such that the
processes launched by OpenMPI get this LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
