Dear All!
I have a few issues with getting paraview v3.10.0/v3.10.1 running without
getting a segmentation fault just after the logo window appears and the Qt
window builds up. This happens only for the time being if I am using the
following settings:
+ MPI support enabled (using openMPI v1.4.3)
+ OS MESA enabled (v7.9.2), using MESA for all openGL includes and libraries.
+ QT v4.6.3
+ Python 2.7.1
+ CMake 2.8.4
The system is Linux x86_64 based on SLES10.
The segmentation fault does not appear if I leave OpenMPI out of the loop (ie
building without MPI support). Using the standard OpenGL libraries (disabling
full CPU rendering and using GPU rendering instead, i.e. VTK_HAS_OSMESA=OFF)
and MPI support does not produce the segmentation fault either.
I have been backing off the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release and switched to
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug, the recompiled paraview from scratch, alas without any
success. I still get the same segmentation fault. I have tried also with the
system compiler (gcc 4.1.2) and newer compiler versions (gcc v4.5.1 and 4.6.0),
the result still being the same.
I have included a backtrace from gdb in order to check where the segmentation
fault is produced and it looks like this happens in vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx
on line 241.

I have been successfully compiling and installing on the same computer paraview
3.8.1 without any issues, using similar settings:
+ QT v4.6.2
+ Python v2.7
+ MESA 7.7.1
+ openMPI 1.4.3
The software rendering is working like a charm and the reason why looking
forward to using paraview 3.10.X is the enhanced support for parallel
rendering. I am quite sure I am doing everything right but it would be great to
know if someone would be pointing me towards a fix for this issue.
For information, I am using a compute cluster which does not have dedicated GPU
hardware and, mainly for this reason, I am relying heavily on CPU based,
parallel rendering for performing postprocessing. Paraview v3.8.1 has been
running on this cluster for the last 4 months now without given any trouble.
Best regards,
Frank Albina
