[Paraview] Linking problems when compiling ParaView 3.8.1 with OpenMPI 1.4.3 and Python 2.7

[Nenad Vujicic]

Hello everyone,

I tried to compile ParaView 3.8.1 with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS,
PARAVIEW_USE_MPI and PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON options turned on, but I
get following linking errors:

I use Visual Studio 2008 SP1, CMake 2.8 and OpenMPI 1.4.3 (compiled
with default options in Release mode). Same errors I get when trying
to compile under CentOS 5.3 (with precompiled OpenMPI 1.4.3 sources)
too. Other projects are compiled well in both cases. Does anyone knows
how to solve this problem? I believe the solution is in setting
appropriate building options for OpenMPI, but I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks,
Nenad.
