If I were you I'd get your local build of mesa going and use that (simply to remove all ambiguity).

Were you using autotools method (eg ./configure && make) or the canned configurations (eg make linux)?

In my experience, and I have heard of others having issues too, the autotools method fails. So if you were using the autotools method, then I suggest you try the canned configs. Do a fresh untar of mesa, cd in and try "make linux" (or choose one of the other configs if you like). When you rebuild PV be sure about the configuration in ccmake and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as I mentioned before.

I tried to install mesa locally also.. at which point it kept saying it needs libdrm, and when i tried to install libdrm, it kept complaining that it coudn't find pthreads-stubs.pc..so i ended up using the system mesa

    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

               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?

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

                      It's a little closer to your situation.
