Installed Mantid and Built Mantid

[Owen Arnold]

This is a Mac issue.

You cannot have an installed copy of Mantid as well as a built copy of Mantid on the mac. The wrong libraries get loaded during the build process and by ctest.

Pinching this one as I know how to fix it (#6976 did part of the work).

Re #6902. Remove a hard coded path.

The one used for linux will give the right answer in a more general way and will avoid looking into an installed Mantid when running a locally built one.

Do we actually need this section of code on linux???

In reply to to comment 3. I don't think we do now. All of our Linux distros use packages for PyQt & sip and we bundle them in the bin directory any longer. Windows has the packages correctly located in the bundled Python distro.

When we finally sort the Mac bundle out, i.e. bundle Python, we can move the packages to the correct bundled site-packaes directory.

Re #6902. Remove unnecessary code from linux build.

We use system-installed sip & PyQt on linux.

This appears to have had a bad effect on our fragile MantidPlot python tests and I'm not inclined to figure out what's wrong exactly (they still work locally for me).

This reverts commit 424a87b8fd794b5573ac709a527a02b291f9f604.

Actually, I do see the problem when I build the right branch! Nevertheless, I'm not going to spend time on it (if it ain't broke....).

Branch is: feature/6902_built_and_installed_on_osx

I can now build and run MantidPlot and unit test locally even if I have an installed Mantid as well. To test: check you can do the same on a Mac!

After figuring out the issue of being able to run my build copy, I can now run both a build and installed copy of Mantid without them stepping on each other. Awesome!
