[Paraview] Paraview v3.10.1/0 segmentation fault with MPI and MESA support on.

Tue Apr 19 02:58:50 EDT 2011

Hi Arjun!

Thanks for the info. I tried this one too, but it does not work either. Just to be sure, I rebuilt it from scratch and I am having a different issue (Illegal instruction instead of segmentation fault), but at the same place:

So I guess that your configuration differs from mine. Do you have by chance an excerpt of your CMakeCache.txt file in your build directory showing which settings you are using for OpenGL, when running MESA instead of GPU rendering?

For comparison, here are mine (which do not work):
OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/code/CFD/develop/opt/share/Mesa-7.7.1/include
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/code/CFD/develop/opt/share/Mesa-7.7.1/lib/libGL.so
OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/code/CFD/develop/opt/share/Mesa-7.7.1/lib/libGLU.so
OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/code/CFD/develop/opt/share/Mesa-7.7.1/include
OSMESA_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/code/CFD/develop/opt/share/Mesa-7.7.1/include
OSMESA_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/code/CFD/develop/opt/share/Mesa-7.7.1/lib/libOSMesa.so
VTK_USE_X:BOOL=ON
VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA:BOOL=ON

Again, these settings work fine with paraview 3.8.1 and the compiled paraview executable does not produce a segmentation fault.

Cheers,

Frank.

Try messa 7.7.1

We use paraview3.10.0 and messa7.7.1 with mpi support. It does work.

running paraview in this configuration for the last 4 months. I am relying
heavily on paraview for post-processing simulation results and it runs on
my compute cluster daily in parallel.

paraview 3.10.0 or 3.10.1 creates an executable which cannot run without
producing a segmentation fault, which does appear just after the logo
window has popped up. For information, I am compiling the paraview sources
from scratch.

able to reproduce the problem using different compilers versions (i.e. gcc
v4.1.2, v4.5.1, v4.5.2 and v4.6.0) on the same architecture.
