Re: [Paraview] Install ParaView on a specified directory
Hi Utkarsh, Thanks for your advice. I tried patchelf, but I couldn't get expected result. The best way now I found was to add a path to /usr/local/paraview-3.14.1/bin. I'll do it for a time.

One solution is to use patchelf (http://nixos.org/patchelf.html) to add the location of the libs to the rpath for every executable you're creating the symlink for.

Re: [Paraview] Install ParaView on a specified directory
Hmm interesting. I haven't used patchelf myself, I'll play with it at some point and document the best way to do such things.

paraview executable expects to find the libs either the standard libs locations or that specified by LD_LIBRARY_PATH or under a relative path exe_dir../lib/paraview-3.14 (from memory, so may be slightly different).
