[Paraview] strange behaviour with PV3.10 on sgi altix system

Thu Apr 28 04:39:33 EDT 2011

Hi Utkarsh,
So...do you have a hunch what may be going on? I'm sorry if i have been 
troubling you a lot, but this is really the last stage to get PV working 
on the cluster:as i said before, the build with BUILD_SHARED_LIB  off 
worked perfectly, but the one with that option on did not....
The  thing that bothers me is that it is definetly not something wrong 
with sgi mpt, since one build of pvserver is working fine. Having 
reached so far, it is driving me crazy that it is still not able to work :(

If you need any more information please do let me know. Once again 
thanks for all the help.
