Paraview with mac nightly build is broken

[Peter Peterson]

This was done on mountain lion (10.8.3) on a machine that never had paraview or mantid installed before. Steps to reproduce:

1. Install ​paraview from nightly build section
2. Install ​mantid nightly build
3. Startup mantid
4. See the "Problem Report for paraview" dialog box come up

This puts mantid in a state where it will not link to paraview.

Can you please re-try this. I've just followed the steps and it's working fine. Although, I'm using 10.8.2, and I don't have access to a clean machine for this. Did you definitely pick up both installers from the nightly build section?

[Russell Taylor]

I can try this out in the morning if need be, though not on an entirely clean machine.

I've identified an issue with the current Paraview package from the nightly build section. It links the libQtLucene library but does not include the path of where to find it. Therefore it looks for it in places such as /usr/lib where it may or may not be present (or in my case present in an older version, which also causes a problem).

Of course, since this package is going to be replaced I'm not sure whether we care about this...

This ticket (#6877) is supposed to address this, but nothing I've done seems to fix the problem. I'm waiting to see if the new ParaView stuff will work. I'm betting not.

[Russell Taylor]

I'll close this as at worst it's a duplicate of #6877. The result of all this is that paraview doesn't work if you don't have the latest Qt installed to the system directory. If I install Qt separately things are OK. Note that just putting the QtCLucene dylib there is not enough as that goes off to look for QtCore in a 'system place'.
