[Paraview] Catalyst dlopen issues with OpenGL2 support for off-screen Mesa

Hello,

I reproduced the issue described 2 months ago relative to detection of OSMesa
OpenGL2 support using dynamically loaded shared libraries on another machine.

I had reproduced this issue on Debian-9 based systems, but not with the
preconfigured Mesa/OSMesa from Arch Linux. Recently, I had other issues with the
 packaged library on Arch (Mesa 17.1.0, including both off-screen and on-screen
drivers), as glGetString and a few other symbols were not found.

So I recompiled Mesa for off-screen mode, using the recommendations from the
ParaView Wiki (with the packaged LLVM 4.0), and encounter the following error
again when starting Catalyst:

--------------------------------
ERROR: In
/home/yvan/src/ParaView/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line
831

vtkOSOpenGLRenderWindow (0x72e3c00): GL version 2.1 with the gpu_shader4
extension is not supported by your graphics driver but is required fo
r 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.
--------------------------------

Trying to force usage of OpenSWR (using "export GALLIUM_DRIVER=swr") I have
another error:

--------------------------------
SWR detected AVX2

SWR library load failure: /home/yvan/opt/osmesa/lib/libswrAVX2.so: undefined
symbol: _glapi_tls_Dispatch
--------------------------------

So this seems quite reproducible on various systems, and both with LLVM 3.9 or
LLVM 4, Mesa 13 or 17.

When linking ParaView (Catalyst) normally (rather than linking them with a
smaller module loaded as a plugin with dlopen), both the default LLVMpipe and
OpenSwr errors dissapear, and things work fine

Does anybody have an idea what I may be missing when loading with dlopen ?

Best regards,

  Yvan
