[Paraview] Segmentation fault in protobuf

[u.utku.turuncoglu at be.itu.edu.tr]

Hi,

I am trying to install a code with support ParaView, Catalyst (version
5.3) to a new system. In this case, the code crash (seg. fault) at the
beginning without giving any valuable hint about the problem. If I run the
code under gdb I am getting following error messages,

---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007fffce45aee7 in _GLOBAL__sub_I_wire_format_lite.cc ()
   from
/home/ext-dell-guest1/rds/hpc-work/progs/paraview-5.3.0/egl/lib/libprotobuf.so

It seems that the error triggered by paraview, protobuf component. I used
both Intel and gcc compiler and both of them has same error. I also try to
set VTK_USE_SYSTEM_PROTOBUF = ON but in this case I am getting bunch of
error related with protobuf library. I also tried to compile my own
protobuf library but ParaView complains about the version and I think that
ParaView is compatible with version 2.5 but I installed 3.0. It is weird
but I could able to run CFullExample without any problem. At this point I
need your suggestion. Is there anybody faced similar problem? Do you think
that upgrading 5.4 will help?

Best Regards,
