The above XML element should be <Option Name="client-host"

I get the same identical error about connecting to localhost when I start
pvdataserver . As for the command line, as I stated in the email
that does work, aside from wanting to do the rendering where the
DAtaserver is. So again, how do I get the Dataserver on Prism, but
Rendering & Client on Meteor? <br><br>
Just an observation, but a "strings * | grep render-server"
comes up with nothing (aside from the command-line arguments) on the
linux packages distributed via the website, but the compilation that I
did on our Irix shows a "render-server" line right around the
"client" and "data-server" lines, right next to a
vtkPVOptionsXMLParser. Is the render-server somehow disabled in
that release? I'm currently attempting to compile it myself on the
linux system. <br><br>
