I get the same results as Kevin on Fedora Core 5 (Pentium 4) and ParaView 2.6.0. It just crashes after selecting test.csv. It seems to try to use the LS-Dyna reader. There doesn't seem to be a csv reader in VTK 5.0.2. I just looked through the online class directory for those with "CSV" or "Reader" in the name. Kent Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
