[Paraview] strange behaviour with PV3.10 on sgi altix system

Thu Apr 28 05:03:35 EDT 2011

Hi,
Also, can you please tell me how can i rebuild paraview with the 
*static* library of the plugin (i.e the .a file)? Although this is a 
very inelegant way to solve the problem, I just want the functionality 
of the TensorGlyph  plugin.
