[Paraview] Building Parallel ParaView on 64 bit Linux System

[Chris Kees]

Hi Pete,

I tried to forward my CMakeCache for a  64 bit CentOS machine, but it  
got blocked. I built a 64 bit version using openmpi built on gcc. I  
think I installed openmpi with yum, which puts it in /usr/lib64/ 
openmpi/1.2.7-gcc/bin/mpicc.  Also, if you're using Qt  4.5.1 you also  
had to download and install a new version of the fontconfig library  
and build 64 bit shared  libraries for it.
