[Paraview] parallel reader problem

[Dave Semeraro]

Hello,

I have written a reader for paraview. The reader works ok in single process 
stand
alone mode ( ie running paraview ). It also works fine if I run in client 
server mode
with a single process as the server. It fails though when I try to run it 
in client server
mode with more than one server process. The failure mode is the client 
loses contact
with the server and  produces a stream of "Could not send tag" errors. I 
import my
reader into paraview by using the import package function in the file menu. 
The failure
occurs immediately after I import the package and before I try to read 
anything. I have
the required library and xml on both the client and server machines. The 
file menu
import package presents a file dialog that appears to point to the client 
machine.
How is the reader library loaded into the server side application? Is the 
method of
loading packages I am using even applicable to the parallel client/server 
mode?
This failure mode does not present itself when I run paraview in parallel 
on the console
of a cluster.

I have read the paraview wiki info on this topic. My next attempt will be 
to try to build
the module into paraview itself rather than importing it. I would like to 
know what is
going wrong though. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Dave
