[Paraview] Compilation problem of ParaView 3.14.1 on Ubuntu 14.04

[Luca Morandini]

I'm trying to compile a rather old version of ParaView (3.14.1) from source, since 
I need it to compile, in turn, the PCL plugin.

However, I was not able to build ParaView after successfully running ccmake to 
configure and generate the makefiles; in fact, when I try make, the result is:

[  0%] Built target vtkWrapHierarchy
[  0%] Built target vtkWrapPython
[  0%] Built target vtkWrapPythonInit

I tried to fiddle around with the CCMKake flags, but, despite my efforts, only a 
few modules compiled, hence I concluded there is something deeper that I am 
missing: could someone shed some light?
