[OpenFOAM.org] Creepy ugly problem in compiling ParaView 4.4.0 for OF 3.0.x

Dear Foamer~!

When I want to reinstall OF in order to extend label to 64 bit, I met a creepy ugly problem.
I use Linux 16.04 LTS and my user name is hxq.
My ~/ directory is /home/hxq/
I want to install OF in file folder ~/OpenFOAM. So I download OF source files and third party source files and put them in that directory. In directory

Code:

~/OpenFOAM/

There is two folders

Code:

/OpenFOAM-3.0.x         /ThirdParty-3.0.x

Then I cd into the /ThirdParty-3.0.x and put ParaView 4.4.0 source code into

Code:

~/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-3.0.x/ParaView-4.4.0

when i run makeParaview4, it prompt out error

Code:

did not find ParaView-4.4.0 in these directories:
  WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR=/home/hxq/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-3.0.x
abort build

What's wrong? my directory is just "/home/hxq/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-3.0.x"
Thanks in advance~!

Sorry Everyone~!

The real reason is that I have name my PV source file folder "ParaView-v4.4.0" wrongly. The correct name should be "ParaView-4.4.0".

Now I feel that I am so stupid.
