    BUG 0014148. Fix location of executable path.
    
    When executable was run from PATH, we were not determining the executable path
    correctly which was messing up the logic to find Python module paths. This fixes
    that issue.

Since I don't have a Mac build, trusting that this is correct.

Hi, I just downloaded paraview 4.2 and have the same issues with python. For examle:
1) In home folder I ran python idle, and then 'import vtk', it's working, but if I ran 'from paraview.simple import *' it crashes with the error:
import paraview, re, os, os.path, new, sys, atexit, vtk
  File "home/ParaView-4.2.0-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-4.2/site-packages/paraview/vtk/__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from vtkCommonCorePython import *
ImportError: No module named vtkCommonCorePython

2) if I go to home/ParaView-4.2.0-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-4.2/site-packages/paraview, start python there and run 'import vtk' it crashes as well.

My config:
PYTHONPATH=/home/ParaView-4.2.0-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-4.2/site-packages/:/home/ParaView-4.2.0-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-4.2/:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ParaView-4.2.0-Linux-64bit/lib/paraview-4.2/

@Miklem, have you tried adding

/home/ParaView-4.2.0-Linux-64bit/lib

to the PYTHONPATH? vtkCommonCorePython.so is in there.

Note on OsX LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not used. You need to use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
