[Paraview] [Non-DoD Source] Re: 5.0.1/Exodus Reader

Wed Jun 1 14:02:52 EDT 2016

So, we are continuing to have issues with 5.0.1 and OpenGL2.      I have
recompiled the server-side to use OpenGL2, and it works fine if when I run
ParaView 5.0.1 from my Mac.     However, if I run ParaView 5.0.1 from my
Linux box,  I’m still getting failures.   Looks like 5.0.1 on my Linux box
(RHEL6) is also built with OpenGL2, but there are apparently additional
issues?????     Here’s some of the output from the error log on the SERVER
side.    What’s generating these GL_Version info messages?      I’m using
the same exact server-side job launching whether I’m running the client on
my Mac or Linux machine - so it would seem that maybe something’s wrong on
the Linux client?????

Utkarsh - thanks for info.    Recompiling the server-side with OpenGL2
resolved the problem!

The binaries distributed by paraview.org are indeed OpenGL2. The title
bar for ParaView 5.0.1 says "(Legacy Rendering Backend)" when using
"OpenGL". Given the error, I think your server is not built with
OpenGL2, despite your intention. Can you check your CMakeCache.txt on
the server build to confirm?
