[Paraview] Segfault in ParaView 4.4 RC2

[Dorier, Matthieu]

I compiled and installed Mesa locally (Gallium llvmpipe state-tracker), but when compiling ParaView I get this error:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/home/mdorier/local/mesa/lib/libGLU.so', needed by `lib/libIceTGL.so'.  Stop.

It appears that libGLU.so is not built by Mesa. Is this normal? (I'm not familiar with Mesa at all) Should GLU be downloaded and compiled from somewhere? Or is there an option in Mesa?

(I've used Mesa 11.0.0)

Thanks,

Matthieu

Thanks a lot Utkarsh!

In the mean time I tried my code on the Blue Waters machine at NCSA and it works like a charm, so yes, it has to be the VM. I'll try with OSMesa. I don't need the ParaView GUI on the VM anyway.

Thanks,

Matthieu

NVM...those were from your original tarball. I thought they were
generated as an output from my run :). It's indeed an X issue in both
cases. Couple of options:

1. Do a Mesa3D build locally on the VM. Then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
point to the generated OpenGL libs and run ParaView/Catalyst. That'll
avoid using the GL libraries provided by virtualbox.
2. Do a OSMesa build and then rebuild ParaView/Catalyst to use OSMesa.
That'd mean you can't have the Qt UI in the same build, but Catalyst
and other scripting executables will work. That would avoid the X
issue all together. This Wiki [a] describes how to get a OSMesa
enabled ParaView build.
