Summary0001201: paraviewArchName error in etc/config/paraview.[c]sh scripts
DescriptionRight after installing ParaView-3.12.0 in ThirdParty-2.3.0, I went on to install the PV3Readers:

[user@my_machine PV3Readers]$ ./Allwmake
ERROR: ParaView not found in /home/user/local/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.3.0/platforms/linux64Gcc/paraview-3.12.0

(the directory exists but is actually named ParaView-3.12.0 -- upper case P and V)

... indeed, this is a lower/upper case naming error for the variable paraviewArchName defined in etc/config/paraview.sh (and the corresponding .csh). At first It is defined correctly, but then it gets erroneously modified inside an if statement.
Steps To ReproduceIt occurs always when trying to install the PV3Readers
Additional InformationThe proposed fix is uploaded as a patch

Confirmed that this proposed patch is... well, almost necessary.


The reason is because the script "etc/tools/ParaViewFunctions" in the "ThirdParty-2.3.*" folder has this innocent looking line:

    ParaView_DIR=$installBASE/ParaView-$ParaView_VERSION

which overrides the address that was carefully rearranged by the aforementioned piece of code in "etc/config/paraview.*" at "OpenFOAM-2.3.*", namely:

    # Reset the name of the binary install directory for version 3
    if [ `echo $ParaView_VERSION | sed -e 's/^\([0-9][0-9]*\).*$/\1/'` -eq 3 ]
    then
        paraviewArchName=paraview-$ParaView_VERSION
    fi



I suggest that the correct solution would be to make the installation consistent among all versions of ParaView, as the "etc/tools/ParaViewFunctions" script tries to imply, i.e., simply therefore remove these 4 lines in "OpenFOAM-2.3.*/etc/config/paraview.*".
