[Paraview] SOURCE_CODE_BUILD_ERROR

[Chris Coutinho]

Hi Govind,

ParaView has a number of dependencies it handles using `git submodules`.  
The normal way that I download and install ParaView is by first cloning 
the main repository, then checking out which branch I need, and finally 
checking out the submodules like this:

	git submodule update --init --recursive

This downloads the submodules (such as VTK) into their proper locations.  
I would delete your separate copy of VTK and use the submodules instead 
because there may be a mismatch between the two.

You could also clone the repository including the submodules all at once 
using the following:

	git clone --recurse-submodules <repo url>

or by pulling the latest commits from the remote with:

	git pull --recurse-submodules

NOTE: This mailing list is being deprecated, and further discussion 
occurs on the ParaView discourse

Regards,
Chris
