[Paraview] New user - install Paraview 5.0 on CentOS 6

[David_dev Dev]

Hi, a small bump on this generic question, we try to evaluate Paraview
against other softwares with similar functions.
Paraview is open source and seems intersting , but if it seems so
complicated to setup, he will quickly loose the race... :-(

>    - cmake → 2.8.12.2-4.el6
>    - MPI → openmpi 1.8.1-1.el6
>    - openGL → (nvidia drivers opengl)
>    - QT 4.7/4.8 → QT 4.6.2 only on Centos 6 => have to manually compile
>    !!! ( and which version ?)
>    - Python 2.7 + Numpy + Matplotlib → default available : python
>    2.6.6-64 / numpy 1.4.1-9 / python-matplotlib 0.99.1.2-1.el6

> 1st try failed because of QT 4.6 (asking 4.7+)

>
> - which version of QT use ?  from sources i can take 4.7, 4.8.3 4.8.x+,
> 5.x+ and try to compile.

> - Final goal is to test with pvbatch on a cluster. Do we'll have to do all

> - We have some decent Workstations with Graphic Cards, is there a reason
