[Paraview] PV 3.0.2 parallel: Got unknown argument: -p4wd

[Berk Geveci]

It sounds like your paraview was not compiled with MPI support. The
mpi launcher (mpich's mpiexec) adds certain command line arguments
when launching an mpi executable and removes them during the MPI
initialization phase (MPI_Initialize). If pvserver is not compiled
with mpi, those arguments are never removed and you get the error you
mentioned.
