		What is the version of ParaView on the "other" Linux box?

	3.12:

	mexas at hector-xe6-8:~> pvpython
	Python 2.7.2 (default, Nov  9 2011, 15:37:53)
	[GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)] on linux2
	Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "/etc/pythonstart", line 7, in <module>
	    import readline
	ImportError: No module named readline
	>>> from paraview.simple import *
	paraview version 3.12.0, Date: 2011-07-26
	>>>


		How are you running the script?

	In the serial queue, as:

	#PBS -N pvbatch
	#PBS -q serial

	# Switch to current working directory
	export PBS_O_WORKDIR=$(readlink -f $PBS_O_WORKDIR)
	cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

	# Run the serial program
	pvbatch pv1.py


		Is the mpi used to build and run the executable same?

	This I don't know. I'll have to ask the support
	people there.

Forgot to add, in pvpython the script runs fine
interactively.

Anton
