[Paraview] 3,6.1 and silo plugin

Sat Jul 18 16:53:20 EDT 2009

Hi Alin,

That's correct, PARAVIEW_USE_SILO is only useful if you have compiled
and installed Silo.  After you enable PARAVIEW_USE_SILO in cmake, new
variables should appear for you to specify the silo installation:
SILO_INCLUDE_DIR and SILO_LIBRARY.

You keep cc'ing the cmake list, maybe a mistake?  Let's keep th
discussion to paraview at paraview.org.
