I tried to work around this bug but without luck. For some reason, the combination of MPI, VTK (Viper) and system() leads to errors like
routed:binomial: Connection to lifeline [[27229,0],0] lost The error does not show up if the call to viper is replaced by a call to for example xterm. The error does not show up if MPI::Init() is not called. ** Changed in: dolfin Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DOLFIN Team, which is subscribed to DOLFIN. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427534 Title: Viper plotting does not work in parallel from C++ Status in DOLFIN: Won't Fix Bug description: Plotting fails in parallel.
