[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: Superbuilds and clusters

[Scott, W Alan]

Thanks Utkarsh - that worked.  I actually misinterpreted OSMesa as Operating System Mesa - but I believe it is Off Screen Mesa.  The former is what I created, the latter is what I needed.

OSMesa works.

When I try to search the binaries (i.e., pvserver and associated libraries), as follows, I don't see mesa.  When I do this search on a good, I made it myself build, I do see mesa.

cd ....../lib/paraview.4.3
ldd * | egrep -i mesa

Next, when I try to run with MPI, on the nodes of the clusters, 8 processes, I get the following:  "Display is not accessible on the server side.  Remote rendering will be disabled.".  

And, as expected, when I visualize wavelet, I see remote rendering is off.  This is with a remote rendering threshold of 0.  I also have Show Annotation on.

OK, I don't know what you are talking about, so I assume I am not running an X server.  Let me rebuild overnight with OSMesa.  What is the difference?

Alan,

What do you mean by it isn't remote rendering? Does it say display is not accessible and hence cannot use remote rendering? Don't you have X server running? If not, then use, you'd need to use OSMesa.
