[Paraview] Point sprite plugin does not work on Mac

[Eric E. Monson]

Hey Ken,

I always get this same error, but I've never been able to use this  
type of shader on my Mac, even with PV Meshless. I always figured  
(that through my ignorance) it was either a problem with the way I  
built PV, or some lack of features in my video card. (As with yours,  
SimplePoint and Texture work fine for me.)

Talk to you later,
-Eric
