Hi all,


I built ParaView with helpful advices of the ML's users.

Now I want to install ParaView on a specified directory.
(ex. /usr/local/paraview-3.14.1)
There appeared to be a parameter such as CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX,
so I set it as "/usr/local/paraview-3.14.1" and ran configure.

The installation looked successfully finished.
Additionally I appended libraries' paths to /etc/ld.so.conf.
I could execute "/usr/local/paraview-3.14.1/bin/paraview"
and everything looked fine.

But if I made symbolic link as
"ln -s /usr/local/paraview-3.14.1/bin/paraview /usr/local/bin/paraview"
and tried to execute "paraview", I got an error as below:
> Error converting executable file "/usr/local/bin/../lib/paraview-3.14/paraview"
> to real path: No such file or directory

Which is the best way to change the installation directory
and execute with a symbolic link on /usr/local/bin?
