[Paraview] problem with ParaView build

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Mark,

If you not planning on running tests, it may be easiest to just turn
off BUILD_TESTING cmake flag and then build to avoid these errors. All
the baselines and datafiles needed for testing are downloaded during
the build step when testing is enabled.
