[Paraview] Linker error involving ParaView's vtk and mvapich

[Leonard Kern]

Dear ParaView community!

I'm having a problem building ParaView on a linux x86-64 cluster. I intend to use pvserver (parallelized via mvapich2) to visualize results  from finite element compuations. There is no graphics hardware available on the machine, so I'm using osmesa.
Configuration works as described in the wiki but running make gives this:

To me, this looks like mvapich2 and vtk both use parsers generated by flex+bison where at least one of them should rename their yyin etc. Unfortunately, Google was unable to offer any useful help, so I'm turning to you.

Any ideas on how I could fix this (or work around it)?

Cheers,
Leonard Kern.

P.S. My CMakeCache.txt is appended.
