[Paraview] Fwd: Amazon EC2 Cluster + Paraview

Sat Feb 12 13:51:47 EST 2011

I am guessing that this error is related to the error you mentioned below...

/home/ubuntu/ParaView-3.8.1/Utilities/Xdmf2/libsrc/utils/XdmfExodusReader.cxx:27:22:
error: exodusII.h: No such file or directory

I have no need for the exodusii reader, I didn't see anywhere that I could
disable it in cmake
