Hi,
I am trying to build ParaView 5.8.0 from source, but it is failing with the following output:
```

Could you help me?
Thank you very much,

Are you able to build without MPI enabled ?

I am building in a Linux cluster: deactivating MPI is not an option… The very same script [taurus.sh](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/pqfPN8fG03qlc0EFIypFVuZaCa5.sh) (2.4 KB) works for version 5.7.0, however.

Well yes, but does it build without MPI ?
In any case, if this is indeed a MPI problem, you will have to provide more info about the MPI you are running.

Hi Mathieu,
I am Rigel, from ZIH (Dresden). I am using Intel 2018a, and the script loads the same modules for both versions (5.7.0 and 5.8.0). The issue is certainly on the CMake files of the new version, as the very same script works (with the same modules and flags, including the MPI installation) for version 5.7.0.
I can see here that the build process manages to pass that point if you deactivate MPI.

Okay, but in order to understand where does the problem come from, we would need more information about your MPI installation.
Lots of things changed between 5.7 and 5.8, especially regarding CMake.

Right. Is there any command you would like me to run, in order to provide such details? Here a first one:
```
alves@tauruslogin6:~> ml iimpi/2018a
Module iimpi/2018a and 6 dependencies loaded.
alves@tauruslogin6:~> mpicc --version

For reference, we have a dashboard machine building ParaView with Intel’s MPI 2019.5.281. See e.g., [https://open.cdash.org/buildSummary.php?buildid=6378041](https://open.cdash.org/buildSummary.php?buildid=6378041).
Is `mpiicc` available by chance (note the two "i"s)?

Yes, it is:
```
alves@tauruslogin6:~> ml iimpi/2018a
Module iimpi/2018a and 6 dependencies loaded.
alves@tauruslogin6:~> whereis mpiicc
mpiicc: /software/generic/impi/2018.1.163-iccifort-2018.1.163-GCC-6.4.0-2.28/intel64/bin/mpiicc
```
Which of them (mpicc, mpiicc, icc etc.) is being used, I don’t know: the script – which works fine for version 5.7.0 – just loads the modules and then calls CMake (the only flags being those mentioned above)…

I have just checked the [CMakeCache.txt](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/zE0VqPYJinqNUXErtaTBxBBPXBC.txt) (296.3 KB) for version 5.7.0 (which builds successfully). This is the MPI compiler being used:
```
//MPI compiler for C
MPI_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/sw/installed/impi/2018.1.163-iccifort-2018.1.163-GCC-6.4.0-2.28/bin64/mpiicc

Can you modify your script to set `MPI_C_COMPILER` and `MPI_CXX_COMPILER` explicitly?

Ok. What should I set them to?

This problem must be on ParaView’s CMake files side.
