Description:

Loading additional plugins in Paraview does not seem to work. For example, trying to load the StreamLinesRepresentation plugin gives the error

ERROR: In /build/paraview/src/ParaView-v5.9.1/Remoting/Core/vtkPVPluginLoader.cxx, line 530
vtkPVPluginLoader (0x55cc55deb040): libvtkStreamLines.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The plugin libraries are there, i.e.

/usr/lib/paraview/plugins/StreamLinesRepresentation/StreamLinesRepresentation.so
/usr/lib/paraview/plugins/StreamLinesRepresentation/libvtkStreamLines.so

but it seems like the RPATH isn't set correctly somewhere and it can't find libvtkStreamLines.so in the same folder as the plugin.
Possibly due to setting -DCMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON?

Additional info:
* package version 5.9.1-11
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce: Start ParaView and go to Tools -> Manage Plugins, select a plugin and click Load Selected. This should show the error above.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  It was indeed RPATH, fixed in 5.9.1-13 (5.10 is currently blocked by other issues).

Can confirm, will check again after 5.10 upgrade (ongoing).
