[Paraview] Fwd: Baffled by "floating point exceptions" in ParaView 3.6.1

Thu Aug 6 16:47:16 EDT 2009

Ok, more information.

If I compile ParaView without Python and without MPI, it works beautifully.

Enabling MPI, however, causes the problem.. a GDB trace:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /viz/work/rhand/pvezviz/install-MPI/bin/paraview

Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
0x00000030fea6911c in _int_free () from /lib64/tls/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0  0x00000030fea6911c in _int_free () from /lib64/tls/libc.so.6
#1  0x00000030fea69596 in free () from /lib64/tls/libc.so.6
#2  0x00000030fe800a2b in ?? ()
#3  0x0000007fbfffc8b0 in ?? ()
#4  0x0000002a9758a11e in ?? ()
#5  0x000000000000fd00 in ?? ()
#6  0x000000000128502b in ?? ()
#7  0x0000002aa267372a in ?? ()
#8  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
(gdb)

The MPI libraries I'm using:

 MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY
/usr/local/ofed/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.2.8/lib64/libmpi.so;/usr/local/ofed/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.2.8/lib64/libopen-rte.so;/usr/local/ofed/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.2.8/lib64/libopen-pal.so;/usr/lib64/libdl.so;/usr/lib64/libnsl.so;/usr/lib64/libutil.so;/usr/lib64/libm.so;/usr/lib64/libdl.so
 MPI_INCLUDE_PATH
/usr/local/ofed/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.2.8/include
 MPI_LIBRARY
/usr/local/ofed/mpi/gcc/openmpi-1.2.8/lib64/libmpi_cxx.so

Anyone see anything obviously wrong?
