This SlackBuild, in line with official Paraview releases,
is intended only for 64bit systems.
-Although not recommended, building without MPI (mpich) support
-is possible by setting the relevant variables in the build environment:
-
- MPICH=no sh paraview.SlackBuild
+MPI support requires build time installation of mpich or openmpi,
+both available from SBo but which should not both be installed
+at the same time. In addition, the PV_USE_MPI environment variable
+should be set to "yes" e.g.
+ PV_USE_MPI=yes sh paraview.SlackBuild
