[Paraview] Redistributable ParaView OS X Package is unusable.

[Michael Jackson]

I tried this also:

562:[mjackson at ferb2:4.6.2]$ sudo rm -rf _CPack_Packages/; sudo cpack -G ZIP --config Applications/ParaView/CPackParaViewConfig.cmake
CPack: Create package using ZIP

CPack Error: Problem compressing the directory
CPack Error: Error when generating package: ParaView


And that was built against Qt 4.6.2.

Have you tried manually removeing the _CPack_Packages directory in your build tree to see if for some reason cpack isn't able to blow it away entirely?

The .dmg image was created just fine but the contained "ParaView.app" when launched only has a menu bar that has "New Application" menu. Nothing else. Yet when I run it from the Build folder everything works just fine. Is there something in the cmake configuration of ParaView that I need to set that tells CMake that I am going to making a redistributable package? The same thing happens if I try a "make install" from the command line. This is on OS X 10.6.8 with CMake 2.8.3 and the ParaView 3.10.1 sources from the web site.
