... then, once that is fixed, FTBFS due to incompatible function prototypes from the system HDF5 library libhdf5-serial-dev.

Attached branch fixes both problems causing paraview FTBFS in Ubuntu Lucid:

    - Utilities/Xdmf2/libsrc/XdmfObject.h: add required #include <string.h>.

    - debian/rules, control: build with PARAVIEW_USE_SYSTEM_HDF5=OFF to use
      internal hdf5 library, as paraview requires an earlier version of
      libhdf5-serial-dev than Ubuntu Lucid's 1.8.3-2.1.

Note: A much newer version of paraview is present at Debian, but held up by issues with libhdf5.

Hi,

As debian has patches, please add your change to Utilities/Xdmf2/libsrc/XdmfObject.h as a patch.

Thanks,
Fabrice

[Kamal Mostafa (kamalmostafa)]

Oops! Thanks for catching that Fabrice. New branch attached applies the change as a quilt patch.
