[Paraview] run-time error in pvserver 3.14.1 when built from source

[John Clyne]

Hi,

I've built pvserver 3.14.1 for Linux X86_64 and I'm trying to use it with a binary distro of the 3.14.1 client under Mac OS X 10.6. The server runs, and I can connect to it with the Mac client, and I can load a remote file. But whenever I hit apply the client and server immediately terminate. Same result if I simply try to render one of the built in source objects (e.g. sphere). Note, if I use a binary distro of pvserver it works fine. The only changes I've made to the build configuration from the default is to turn off Qt. 


The error logs from the client and server are below:
