[Paraview] Redistributable ParaView OS X Package is unusable.

[Michael Jackson]

Dave, 
  What is the configuration you are using? Qt Version? As Carbon or Cocoa? Universal Binaries or x64 only? Self build or download from Nokia?

  What tag from paraview git repository are you using? I may be able to get my environment going like yours. 
 
  I also tried the latest ParaView master from head and my plugins need to be updated for that to work so using that is out of the question at this point.

 This is what I have tried and have not worked:
    Qt 4.6.2 Self built with NO custom plugins
    Qt 4.7.2 Self built with NO custom plugins
    "make install" of both of the above.
    using sudo for everything to avoid possible permissions issues.

I'll download the prebuilt Qt libraries from Nokia and try those. I guess I could also try CMake 2.8.4

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.
