Hi there,

I know this issue has been on the list before (once in Oct '12 and then again Jan '13), but it seemed like it was never fully (or at least publicly) resolved. I seem to get the exact same error as the other user got back then, after compiling and installing ParaView-4.0.0-RC2 on a Linux machine:

$> ./paraview
ERROR: In /home/mic/.pool/.src/ParaView-4.0.0-RC2/VTK/GUISupport/Qt/vtkEventQtSlotConnect.cxx, line 68
vtkEventQtSlotConnect (0xdea0f0): Cannot connect NULL objects.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I used gcc-4.8.0 as well as clang-3.3 to compile ParaView, and still get the same error. Also, the same error whether I do it on a 2.6.34 or 3.1.10 kernel machine (openSUSE 11.3 and 12.1 respectively). The used Qt version is 4.8.4 (also compiled with gcc and clang). I also tried Utkarsh's solution by removing the $HOME/.config/ParaView directory, but to no avail. Starting paraview with the '-dr' option doesn't change anything either. When I try to run a previously compiled ParaView 3.14.1 client, it works without a glitch.

I recompiled ParaView for a Debug build and used gdb to get a stack trace:

Is there any new knowledge on what this might be related to or how I can fix this?
