[Paraview] PV on FreeBSD - QPainter warnings, graphics glitches and crash on Save Animation

[Anton Shterenlikht]

On FreeBSD 9.0-current ia64, PV 3.8.0 gives
this message on opening can.ex2 (supplied with the tutorial):

QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2
QPainter::setRenderHint: Painter must be active to set rendering hints
QPainter::setBrush: Painter not active
QPainter::end: Painter not active, aborted

and many menus have missing buttons, e.g.

1. Open button is missing:
http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/missing1.png

2. OK button is missing: 
http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/missing2.png

3. Numbers are missing from Save animation dialog,
and cannot be input:
http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/missing3.png


When I try to save animation, (hit enter as there is no OK button)
 PV crashes with:

Assertion failed: (bufferName == BUFFER_DEPTH || bufferName == BUFFER_STENCIL || fb->Attachment[bufferName].Renderbuffer == NULL), function _mesa_add_renderbuffer, file main/renderbuffer.c, line 1924.


gdb is not very helpful:

These might be 2 different problems,
as on FreeBSD 9.0-current amd64 all menus are correct,
but I still get a crash on animation save.

Please advise

many thanks
