[Paraview] Installation error "MPIEXEC was empty"

[Pradeep Jha]

Hello,

I installed MPI locally on my account. After that I managed to do the
ccmake and generate a makefile. But when I do "make", after 21% completion,
I get the following error:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'MPI_Comm' with no type
-------------------------------------------------------------

I have all the MPI files declared in my PATH so that my mpirun and mpiexec
are working now. What is causing this error?

Thank you,
Pradeep
