I compiled paraview-3.8.0 using fink project gcc4.4.4 and qt-4.5 on mac-10.6.4. I got the following errors. Thanks!

Not sure whether this combination will work. My experience is the following: the ObjectiveC-files that come with paraview (those for the Cocoa-Support) can only be compiled with the Apple-supplied compilers (preferably g++-4.2) all other compilers I tried so far choked on those.

Problem is that when you compile paraview with one compiler (4.2) and OF with another (4.4 for instance) the PV3FoamReader-Plugin won't work (incompatible versions of libstdc++). There are two solutions:
- configure paraview with the OF-gcc. Set the makefiles to verbose. Whenever a compilation chokes redo it with the apple-compiler then restart make. With this version the plugin should work in the end (did that with previous versions)
- configure paraview with the Apple-gcc. Use the built in OF-reader for postprocessing (but you might as well use the binary distro by KitWare)

Currently I use the second approach as the first one is a bit tedious
