I'm starting again this thread as I still have a problem with mesa (and so all
mesa advices will be in the same discussion).
Now it is on a server with an AMD Firepro GPU. The Centos6.9 mesa version is too
old (mesa-libGL-10.4.3-1.el6.x86_64). Installing a new el6 mesa rpm
Sweet!

Thanks a lot Burlen, all is running fine now with this setup for mesa on the

OK. to accomplish this, first do a Mesa build configured as
follows(glx+software rendering)
../mesa-17.0.6/configure --enable-texture-float --enable-glx
--disable-dri
Yes Burlen, this is exactly what I try to do:
- one build for the nodes whitout GUI as they have no windowing system nor GPU
(I build this using the wiki documentation)
- one build for the front end with GUI: it has no GPU but a windowing system
(this is the blocking point at this time)
- one
that's the point. this allows you to run without the windowing system or
GPU on the cluster. Most cluster have neither. If you wanted to provide
the GUI then I would suggest you have two installs of both ParaView and
Mesa. One based on OSMesa, the other based on some X11 enabled OpenGL.

Hi Burlen,
I think there is a main concept that I do not understand in building Paraview
and Mesa as I have also all the wiki pages printed in front of me since the
begining. It is how to build paraview on a server without GPU _but_ with
Paraview GUI enabled.
With the Wiki I was able to build
Hi Patrick,
Your output shows you enabled some gpu specific drivers, and GLX. I
think that is going to screw things up for you. Best to disable all of
them but the ones you specifically need and to explicitly disable glx.
Here is how I configured OSMesa for a Cray
Hi Chuck, Hi Burlen
Thanks for your reply.
I've attached the setup of my mesa installation. I have more options enabled in
my config than in yours. May be too much as this frontend has no GPU available.
I'll try a setup with -DVTK_USE_X=OFF as Burlen suggest, but is it possible to
build
Hi Patrick,
OSMesa (and friends such as OpenSWR) do not need to make use of GLX. In
fact I think it should be disabled completely for that case in both Mesa
and ParaView builds. For eg, when you configure ParaView you'd specify
-DVTK_USE_X=OFF. At least this is how it was in the past. I
