[Paraview] Paraview server and Paraview client versions

[Chuck Atkins]

Hi Faiz,

Quick question - if both compiled from source, what all needs to be same

They both need to be the same version of paraview and use the same
rendering backend, i.e. OpenGL vs OpenGL2.  ParaView now defaults to
OpenGL2 so as long as you use the same source tree to build the client and
server thenm they should be able to connect to eachother regardless of how
they're built.

Yep.

Nope.  You can even build the client without any MPI support and the server
with whatever MPI version you want.   None of that matters for the client
and server to properly communicate.
