Hi,

I cloned paraview master and building it with MPI, VrPLuging and VRPN enabled. I am getting the following error:

```
[2%] Built target GenericIOReader_server_manager_modules_xml_content
[2%] Generating documentation for GenericIOReader_doc
[2%] Built target LANL_GenericIO
[2%] Built target GeodesicMeasurement_doc
CMake Error at /gpfs/runtime/opt/paraview/yurt/paraview/CMake/ParaViewClient.cmake:522 (message):
  Failed to convert servermanager XML:

[3%] Built target protobuf

[3%] Built target LagrangianParticleTracker_server_manager_modules_xml_content

```

Any idea what could be the issue?  
Thanks.

Does it work if you disable the GenericIOReader plugin ?
