[Paraview] gpu_shader4 extension is not supported

[Patrick Begou]

I'm starting again this thread as I still have a problem with mesa (and so all 
mesa advices will be in the same discussion).

Now it is on a server with an AMD Firepro GPU. The Centos6.9 mesa version is too 
old (mesa-libGL-10.4.3-1.el6.x86_64). Installing a new el6 mesa rpm 
(mesa-libGL-11.0.7-4.el6.x86_64) breaks other software so I had to compile mesa 
in paraview tree. All run fine (no error when building mesa or paraview 5.4 or 
5.3) but I discover that glyph are not working. No message output in the 
terminal to provide any help.

I've several setup of paraview 5.4 (with osmesa on cluster nodes, with nvidia 
libraries on workstations... ) and glyph is running fine so it is not a paraview 
5.4 internal problem.

On the server with the AMD Firepro GPU I use mesa-17.0.4.tar.gz with the 
following prerequisites:
- llvm-4.0.0.src.tar.xz
- libdrm-2.4.70.tar.gz
- xcb-proto-1.12.tar.gz
-  pthread-stubs-0.3.tar.gz
- libXau-1.0.8.tar.gz
- libxcb-1.12.tar.gz
- libxshmfence-1.2.tar.gz

all builded basicaly with
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/paraview-5.4.0/lib/pkgconfig  ./configure 
--prefix=/opt/paraview-5.4.0
make
make install

To build mesa-17.0.4 I use:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/paraview-5.4.0/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/opt/paraview-5.4.0/bin:$PATH
./configure \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/paraview-5.4.0/lib/pkgconfig \
--prefix=/opt/paraview-5.4.0 \
--enable-texture-float \
--with-llvm-prefix=/opt/paraview-5.4.0

Of course I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to load mesa in the Paraview tree and I check 
with strace it is used.

Any idea of what could be wrong ?
