[Paraview] Running a pure data server

[Brian Greiner]

We are trying to set up a pure mpi data server with rendering only 
taking place on a client.  I have been successful in building the mpi 
version with references to the opengl libs that works on the interactive 
machines (opengl is installed on the interactive machines) in our 
cluster (running sles 11), but that limits me to 8 cpus.  I really want 
to run on our main cluster with machines that do not have any opengl 
libs, or x, or OSMesa at all because they have no graphics cards at all.

I have tried setting cmake paths to opengl and OSMesa to the appropriate 
paths in my network home directory (h: drive on a netapp) where I built 
mesa, but the pvserver I get from that build even when run with the 
--disable-composite flag still tries to load up opengl on the server 
machine rather than from my h: drive.

Is it possible to build so that pvserver does not try to use opengl or 
OSMesa?  Or can I build in such a way that pvserver only needs the path 
for opengl and OSMesa wrt my h: drive?

Vr,
