[Paraview] ParaView 5.0.1 on an older Mac

[Michael Jackson]

Richard,
    You will get this warning/error message on any OS X machine using 
ATI/AMD graphics hardware running OS X 10.10 or earlier. OS X 10.11 
corrected an OpenGL driver issue that this error is reporting. It is 
down in the VTK stack. I do not know if we should be worried or not 
about the warning/error.
