[Paraview] Compiling Plugins for the Binary Release

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Can you post the CMakeCache.txt file you're using for building the
plugin? For linux which super build did you use? The linux binaries
were built using the following repo (checkout tag v3.14.0) :

https://gitorious.org/paraview-collaboration/paraview-binaries-superbuild

To influence the search path, you can use INSTALL_RPATH
(http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#command:set_target_properties),
however that's still won't help unless you know exactly where your
users are going to install ParaView. Users either have to set
LD_LIBRARY PATH, or simply put all the .so files under
<..>/lib/paraview3.14/ directory.
