Hi,

I am having problems migrating a simulation code’s Catalyst adapter from ParaView version 5.5.2 to 5.7.0. The `CMakeLists.txt` is very simple:

```
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(heat_equation_solver)

find_package(ParaView 5.7 REQUIRED)

set (Adaptor_SRCS ${Adaptor_DIR}/adaptor.cxx)

add_library (HeatAdaptor ${Adaptor_SRCS})
target_link_libraries (HeatAdaptor INTERFACE VTK::PythonUsed PRIVATE ParaView::PythonCatalyst VTK::CommonDataModel)

add_definitions("-D USE_CATALYST")

add_executable (heat.exe heat.cpp)
target_include_directories(heat.exe PRIVATE ${Adaptor_DIR})
target_link_libraries (heat.exe PRIVATE HeatAdaptor VTK::mpi)

```

But I keep getting the error:

```
/sw/installed/impi/2018.1.163-iccifort-2018.1.163-GCC-6.4.0-2.28/bin64/mpicxx CMakeFiles/heat.exe.dir/heat.cpp.o -o heat.exe -Wl,-rpath,/scratch/ws/alves-rigel/v5.7.0/install/lib64 libHeatAdaptor.a /scratch/ws/alves-rigel/v5.7.0/install/lib64/libvtkPVPythonCatalyst-pv5.7.so.5.7 /scratch/ws/alves-rigel/v5.7.0/install/lib64/libvtkPVCatalyst-pv5.7.so.5.7 /scratch/ws/alves-rigel/v5.7.0/install/lib64/libvtkPythonInterpreter-pv5.7.so.5.7 /sw/installed/Python/3.6.4-intel-2018a/lib/libpython3.6m.so /scratch/ws/alves-rigel/v5.7.0/install/lib64/libvtkCommonDataModel-pv5.7.so.5.7 /scratch/ws/alves-rigel/v5.7.0/install/lib64/libvtkCommonTransforms-pv5.7.so.5.7 /scratch/ws/alves-rigel/v5.7.0/install/lib64/libvtkCommonMath-pv5.7.so.5.7 /scratch/ws/alves-rigel/v5.7.0/install/lib64/libvtkCommonCore-pv5.7.so.5.7 /scratch/ws/alves-rigel/v5.7.0/install/lib64/libvtksys-pv5.7.so.5.7 -ldl -Wl,-rpath-link,/scratch/ws/alves-rigel/v5.7.0/install/lib64

```

Am I missing something? Or is Cmake failing to add some necessary flag to the linking command?

Thank you very much,

The issue has been solved by adding `VTK::ParallelMPI` to end of the `target_link_libraries (HeatAdaptor ...)` command.
