I would say you were probably lucky, like I said we tried it several
times (on Linux - maybe the state was better on other platforms) and
it was very unreliable. Chris mentioned that Utkarsh was able to build
ParaView with wrapping though, so maybe it was precarious? It was
certainly known to be unreliable, and I saw the exact error you are
seeing when it failed. It looks like David Gobbi has an initial patch
at least, hopefully that will work for you.
