Thankyou all for responding again..:) I tried to compile paraview and to only hit a wall after wall as I have to install it to my local folder due to not having administrator privileges..
so i downloaded the binaries last night and checked that it worked.. Today to my surprise, when i try to open paraview in the hpc headnode, where i downloaded the binaries, it gives the following error.. [vis...@hpc4 ~]$ paraview > ERROR: In > /home/kitware/ParaView-3.6/ParaView3/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, > line 632 > vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x143bb10): Cannot create GLX context. Aborting. > and i dont' have /home/kitware etc...directory...so i dont understand what is happening.. I made sure that i included the path of the bin and lib in the newly downloaded binary.. Any suggestions?
