[Paraview] Inconsistent results with the stream trace filter

Wed Oct 24 11:01:40 EDT 2012

This include libXt.so and include files such as
/usr/include/X11/Core.h. On debian-based systems, it's available as
the package "libxt-dev". Also you can try the nightly binaries
directly, if you don't want to build from source. The instructions to
download the binaries are:
