[Paraview] MPI Socket in use

Sometimes, depending on the process launcher being used by MPI you don't
get the same environment in your current shell as you get from the
mpiexeced environment, since interactive shells behave differently than
non-interactive shells in regards to what dot files they read and/or don't
read.

you should try an
ssh ldd /home/dersh/projects/ParaView-bin/bin/pvserver
or
rsh ldd /home/dersh/projects/ParaView-bin/bin/pvserver
if you get the same output as
ldd /home/dersh/projects/ParaView-bin/bin/pvserver
I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Good Luck,
--John.
