[Paraview] paraview installation error

[David E DeMarle]

These look like two separate issues to me.

That seems like it should be fine. The RPM is just telling you that you
already have a GLU.
FWIW: Personally I've always just downloaded Mesa source and built it
myself locally rather than using the package manager to install it for
everyone. Doing so I'm sure to use the libGLU that comes with mesa.


After this when I run the "make" command, I am getting the following error:

This error is entirely different and doesn't have anything to do with Mesa.
It is saying that the vtk library vtkFiltersParallelMPI isn't right. Are
you using an external VTK by any chance, and one without MPI turned on in
cmake? If so, don't. The ability to use an external VTK, rather than the
one that comes inside VTK is still brand new in ParaView 3.98. If not, can
you send me the CMakeCache.txt in you build tree? I might be able to spot
what is wrong from that.
