I installed all the dependancies for paraview and the command ./makeParaView -python -mpi -qmake /usr/lib64/qt5/ is called for compiling paraview . The version is 5.6.3. It ends up in an error at 65%. The last few lines in terminal is [65%] Building CXX object VTK/Wrapping/Python/CMakeFiles/vtkCommonDataModelPythonD.dir/vtkVectorOperatorsPython.cxx.o

What may be the reason. I am struggling for days.  
OS is fedora 33 (Wayland)

The error is probably _far_ up the terminal because of the parallel build. I would recommend `cd`'ing into the ParaView build directory and doing a plain `make` (no parallelism) to get the actual error message.
