[Paraview] ParaView from git, make fail on OpenSUSE 12.2

Paraview's superbuild is supposed to pull and build all the dependencies.
Checkout the nightly-superbuild script to see what are enabled on the
linux dashboards

http://open.cdash.org/viewNotes.php?buildid=2757649

Also here is the info about the released paraview binaries:

HTH,
