[Paraview] problem with OS X binary

[Dan Lussier]

Hi Dave,

Ok - I gave everything another try today and I'm really not sure what  
happened on Friday as now both the 32 bit and 64 bit binaries appear  
to be working.

On Friday I was getting immediate and repeatable crashes from the 64  
bit library.  Having now looked back into the console  (I hadn't done  
that on Friday as I was brain dead on Friday afternoon) the potential  
culprit appears to be multiple qt installations on my system.

I installed a generic qt library into /opt/local via the MacPorts  
system for use with a few other pieces of software and it looks like  
this was causing some conflicts with Paraview as I get repeated  
messages that Paraview was unable to decide between libraries from the  
qt installation in /opt/local and the one that came bundled with the  
binary.

Does this explanation make sense?

Thanks again.
