[Paraview] problem with ParaView build

[Mark Bartelt]

Two quick followup questions with regard to my previous message:

First, I notice that there's a ParaViewData-v4.4.0.tar.gz file
available for download.  If I grab that and install it before
trying to build ParaView from source, will that get things in
shape so that the makefile won't need to try fetching the .png
files via HTTP?  That might (I hope) solve the problem.

And secondly, I see that ParaView-4.4.0-Qt4.Linux-64bit.tar.gz
exists and is available for download; and files in that tarball
all exist in subdirectories of ParaView-4.4.0-Qt4-Linux-64bit;
my question is this:  If I use this prebuilt version, does the
top-level ParaView-4.4.0-Qt4-Linux-64bit directory need to live
in some specified location (i.e. do some things in the hierarchy
make references to other things via a full pathname), or can the
tree be put anywhere (/usr/local, or /opt, or /home/zippy, or ...)?

Thanks again!
