[Paraview] gpu_shader4 extension is not supported

[Patrick Begou]

Hi,

I'm still trying to build paraview 5.3 with Qt4.8. As paraview superbuild was 
failing on my desktop (centos 6.9, Nvidia GPU), I build paraview by hand and it 
is running now with and without pvserver connection
.
The problem went back with building same paraview version on the cluster 
frontend: CentOS 6.7, no GPU. The compilation is successfull but launching 
paraview I get some errors with OpenGL:

ERROR: In 
/kareline/data/begou/PARAVIEW5/paraview/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, 
line 825
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x2280fb0): GL version 2.1 with the gpu_shader4 
extension is not supported by your graphics driver but is required for the new 
OpenGL rendering backend. Please update your OpenGL driver. If you are using 
Mesa please make sure you have version 10.6.5 or later and make sure your driver 
in Mesa supports OpenGL 3.2.

ERROR: In 
/kareline/data/begou/PARAVIEW5/paraview/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, 
line 812
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x2280fb0): failed to create offscreen window

ERROR: In 
/kareline/data/begou/PARAVIEW5/paraview/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, 
line 813
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x2280fb0): GLEW could not be initialized.

I've built and installed mesa from mesa-17.0.4.tar.gz using:
./configure \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/share/apps/paraview-5.3.0/lib/pkgconfig \
--prefix=/share/apps/paraview-5.3.0 \
--disable-osmesa --enable-gallium-osmesa --enable-gallium-llvm \
--with-llvm-prefix=/share/apps/paraview-5.3.0

With several requested libraries:
libxshmfence-1.2.tar.gz
libxcb-1.12.tar.gz
libXau-1.0.8.tar.gz
pthread-stubs-0.3.tar.gz
xcb-proto-1.12.tar.gz
libdrm-2.4.70.tar.gz
llvm-4.0.0.src.tar.xz
all under /share/apps/paraview-5.3.0/

I've checked with strace that paraview was loading libGL in 
/share/apps/paraview-5.3.0/lib and not the system one, requested by other 
application (frontend is in production and I cannont break these libraries used 
by other softwares).


I must confess I'm not familiar at all with these libraries and environments, 
mesa or osmesa, GPU or not GPU, of screen rendering... all documentation deeping 
in obscure details while I'm searching to understand these concepts.
it is clear for me that on the nodes (without GPU) I will use OSMesa and no GUI, 
but on the frontend where I need GUI ???

Thanks for your advices and sorry if this is a very basic lack of understanding 
from myself.

Patrick
