I usually do this:

cd ~/ # Go to my home directory
# Download CMake source
wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.6.tar.gz
tar -xzvf cmake-2.8.6.tar.gz # Extract CMake
mkdir cmake-2.8.6_build # make a cmake build directory
cd cmake-2.8.6_build # go into the build directory
ccmake ../cmake-2.8.6 # configure cmake with system cmake
make -j8 # build cmake in parallel
# you can run it from the build directory without installing

cd ~/ # Go to my home directory
# Download ParaView source
wget http://paraview.org/files/v3.12/ParaView-3.12.0-RC2.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ParaView-3.12.0-RC2.tar.gz # extract paraview
mkdir ParaView-3.12.0-RC2_build # make a ParaView build directory
cd ParaView-3.12.0-RC2_build/ # go into the build directory

# now this is the part where you seem to be confused
# configure ParaView with the CMake we just built
../cmake-2.8.6_build/bin/ccmake ../ParaView-3.12.0-RC2
make -j8 # build ParaView in parallel
bin/paraview # run paraview from the build directory
