Yes, I usually build with N > 1.
I just tested your hypothesis and I can confirm that (for a clean build)
it does make a difference whether one compiles with 1 or more processes.
The error > make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`Applications/ParaView/../../Documentation/paraview.qch', needed by
`Applications/ParaView/qrc_paraview_help.cxx'.  Stop.
does only occur when compiling sequentially (on 32 bit Linux). Funny to
see that on my 3 different 64 bit Linux operating systems compilation
always fails at this point, even with N > 1.
