[Paraview] cannot link Plugin based on Paraview 3.10.1 using Qt 4.7.4 on Mac OS OX 10.6.8 | gcc 4.2.1 | Xcode 4.0 | CMake 2.8-2 (x86_64 is on)

Wed Oct 5 12:28:33 EDT 2011

Given that my configuration for static/dynamic builds of the plugin is the
same, how is it possible that the plugin builds successfully as a static
lib, whereas it fails as a shared lib?
