*** Qt (from http://trolltech.com/products/qt)
The ParaView 3.3 visualisation package requires that Qt version 4.3.x MUST
be installed on the system. Earlier or more recent versions (4.2.x or
4.4.x) will NOT work. To check whether Qt4 is installed, and the version,
type:
The ParaView 3.6.1 visualisation package suggests that Qt version 4.3.x
should be installed on the system. The source may build against more recent
versions, but this is done at the user's own risk. To check whether Qt4 is
installed, and the version, type:
+ qmake --version
The ParaView binary executables in the ThirdParty distribution will only
work with PRECISELY the same version of Qt with which it was compiled. The
64-bit version of ParaView was compiled with Qt-4.3.1 (with openSuSE-10.3)
and the 32-bit version of ParaView was compiled with Qt-4.3.2 (with
ubuntu-7.10). If the user finds that a ParaView binary fails to run, then
Both 32- and 64-bit version of ParaView were compiled with Qt-4.4.3 (with
openSuSE-11.1). If the user finds that a ParaView binary fails to run, then
it is almost certainly due to a conflict in compiled and installed Qt
versions and they will need to consult the section below on "Compiling
ParaView and the PV3FoamReader module."

* Compiling Paraview 3.6.1 and the PV3FoamReader module
A version of Qt 4.3.x should be installed to compile ParaView. The compilation
is a fairly simple process using the supplied buildParaView script that
has worked in our tests with other packages supplied in the ThirdParty
directory, namely cmake-2.6.4 and gcc-4.3.3. Execute the following:
