It's really not info info for me to give you any specific advise. But my best guess is that at run time the wrong open gl liibraries are being loaded. That will crash PV. You want the mesa libraries from your local mesa build to be loaded, you have to prepend its path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment var. Also double check in ccmake, that all of the opengl libs come from your mesa build.

The problem is that it keeps complaining about not having many library files..I tried and installed them..now, when i compiled, it didnt' give an error..but when opened it gave segmentation fault.. i read somewhere online that u need to use unlimit stacksize, which I did and still doesnt work.

i had used -mpi opition and also to use mesa ..

hit a wall again..

    Apparently your cluster doesn't have X11 server started. The error
    message reports this path because __FILE__ cpp macro is used.

    Question: Why is it a problem to install and run ParaView from
    your home folder? It should be OK.

        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?

           Also be aware that there is a bug in ParaView, where if the
        server
           startup command doesn't return for some reason, ssh turns
        into an
           orphan process and will not relinquish the ports it used,
           preventing any further use of those ports.

           http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=10283

           I did submit a patch to fix it but it has yet to be applied.

               Your command isn't quite right, specifically how you are
               trying to specify the compute node.

               Take a look at the section here,
http://paraview.org/Wiki/Reverse_connection_and_port_forwarding#Reverse_Connection_Over_an_ssh_Tunnel


               It's a little closer to your situation.

                   I set up a server/client reverse connection and
        trired to

        i gave
                   for the server.. olivegarden is the hostname of my
        laptop.

                   here node083 is the node where the pvserver was
        launched...

                   so wasn't sure how to give that info in this

                   am i doing something wrong.. when you say that

        reverse
                   connection
                          mode, you need to give it the arguments -rc (or
                          --reverse-connection) and
                   --client-host=/laptop.hostname.com/
        <http://laptop.hostname.com/>
                   <http://laptop.hostname.com/>
                          <http://laptop.hostname.com/>.  When given these
                   arguments,
                          the server will immediately try to make a
        connection to
                          /laptop.hostname.com/
        <http://laptop.hostname.com/> <http://laptop.hostname.com/>
                   <http://laptop.hostname.com/>.  Thus,
                          you first need to have your client running and
                   waiting for the
                          server to connect.  After getting things set up,
                   you should
                          eventually try to set up your client to
                   automatically start
                          the server with an ssh call and then wait
        for the
                   server to
                          connect back.

                             Hi,
                             I would to visualize the data that is being
                   computed on a
                          hpc by
                             using pvserver and paraview.

                             i have come across a many documents
        saying how
                   to connect
                          and the
                             one what i thought might be appropriate in my
                   case would to
                          be to
                             run pvserver on the hpc and then connect
        to it usind
                          server/client
                             reverse connection from my desktop..

                             here is the procedure that i use to
        connect to
                   the hpc to
                          submit job.

                             i log in to the head node via ssh
        [email protected]

                             i then submit my job using the the following
                   script via
                          qsub myscript


                             *#PBS

                             cat ${PBS_NODEFILE} > node1
                             mpirun --machinefile ${PBS_NODEFILE} -np

                             in the node1 file, i get say node083 (and
        it is
                   repeated 4
                          times)

                             I am not sure how to connect to this node
        say by
                   running
                          paraview
                             from my laptop to visualize that.

                             Any help would be greatly appreciated..
