Compiling ParaView is unfortunately often quite annoying.
IMO however, there are not too many reasons to actually bother. The ParaView/VTK native OpenFOAM reader does a good job. The only places you would need to plugin reader is if you need to have sets/zones that change and you don't want to use foamToVTK for them. Another case is setting up complicated blockMesh dictionaries and the `blockMesh -write-vtk` doesn't give you enough information.
