[vtkusers] Trying to build VTK 7.1.1 on CentOS 6 - 'make test' fails

[Prentice Bisbal]

I'm a system administrator trying to build VTK 7.1.1 on CentOS 6.9 for 
my users. When I do 'make test', I get a lot of failures. Here's what I 
do to build:

My cmake command:


cmake \
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/pppl/vtk/7.1.1 \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release \
-D CMAKE_C_COMPILER:PATH=/usr/bin/gcc \
-D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:PATH=/usr/bin/g++ \
-D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF \
-D BUILD_TESTING=ON \
-D VTK_Group_Imaging=ON \
-D VTK_Group_Qt=ON \
-D VTK_Group_Tk=ON \
-D VTK_WRAP_JAVA=ON \
-D VTK_WRAP_PYTHON=ON \
-D VTK_WRAP_TCL=ON \
../ \
2>&1 | tee cmake.log

After make completes, I do a  'make test', and get a bunch of segfault 
and 'other fault' errors:

make test 2>&1  | tee test.log

$ grep -i fault test.log | head -n 20

That's just some of the errors in total, I get ~1800 errors:

$ grep -i fault test.log | wc -l
1830

When I run 'make test', I'm not doing it on my local server. I'm doing 
it on a remote system, that I ssh into with X11 forwarding enabled. I've 
noticed that, at least for the tests at the start, the tests segfault 
when they're drawing on my screen. Could the SSH/X11 forwarding be part 
of the problem? Could it be that I need to use the older OpenGL 
interface on CentOS 6.9? Should I link to Mesa instead?

Thanks for all your help, from a complete newbie to this list.
