Hello I am on a Mac Pro 5,2 (Mid 2010) running OSX version 10.13.6, High Sierra. I am trying to install Paraview 5.6.2 but after a successful install when trying to run the program it crashes immediately with this error message. I can successfully run 5.1.2. and the installer I use is ParaView-5.6.2-MPI-OSX10.12-64bit.pkg

It looks like it may be related to this issue:

> Hey Joe. This is the change that made AVX the minimum supported ISA. [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/commit/f3bbdc1d2a441ccf86498f16b5a818fc5709e6ca](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/commit/f3bbdc1d2a441ccf86498f16b5a818fc5709e6ca) I introduced it because MacOS no longer builds embree with SSE and AVX is quite old now. For standalone builds you can set(embree\_BUILD\_ISA SSE2 SSE4D AVX AVX2) in your CMakeCache.txt to get back the SSE support.
