Which OpenGL and MPI are you using? Does this happen when running
locally and/or when running 1 server node?

Are you running from the build tree or did you do a make install? If
you did a make install, did you compile with VTK_USE_RPATH ON or OFF?
This probably has something to do with not having rpath and not
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
