So with CNL you run a simplified Linux on the compute nodes instead of 
Catamopunt ? And that simplified Linux doesn't support shared libs ? And you 
build on these nodes ?

You can do 
SET_PROPERTY(GLOBAL PROPERTY TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS FALSE)
this will at least warn when you try to build a shared lib. 
Support for this is also in ParaView, so if it is disabled, it will build 
fully static.
