This SlackBuild, in line with official Paraview releases, is intended only for 64bit systems. -Although not recommended, building without MPI (mpich) and/or Matplotlib support -is possible by setting the relevant variables in the build environment: - MPICH=no - MATPLOTLIB=no - -Optional embedding with PythonQt may be enabled by setting - PYTHONQT=yes -in the build environment.
