I tried to install mesa locally also.. at which point it kept saying it needs libdrm, and when i tried to install libdrm, it kept complaining that it coudn't find pthreads-stubs.pc..so i ended up using the system mesa<br>

It's really not info info for me to give you any specific advise. But my best guess is that at run time the wrong open gl liibraries are being loaded. That will crash PV. You want the mesa libraries from your local mesa build to be loaded, you have to prepend its path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment var. Also double check in ccmake, that all of the opengl libs come from your mesa build.<br>

The problem is that it keeps complaining about not having many library files..I tried and installed them..now, when i compiled, it didnt' give an error..but when opened it gave segmentation fault.. i read somewhere online that u need to use unlimit stacksize, which I did and still doesnt work.<br>
<br>
i had used -mpi opition and also to use mesa ..<br>
<br>
hit a wall again..<br>

Apparently your cluster doesn't have X11 server started. The error<br>
message reports this path because __FILE__ cpp macro is used.<br>
<br>
Question: Why is it a problem to install and run ParaView from<br>
your home folder? It should be OK.<br>

Thankyou all for responding again..:)<br>
<br>
I tried to compile paraview and to only hit a wall after wall<br>
as I have to install it to my local folder due to not having<br>
administrator privileges..<br>
<br>
so i downloaded the binaries last night and checked that it<br>
worked..<br>
<br>
Today to my surprise, when i try to open paraview in the hpc<br>
headnode, where i downloaded the binaries, it gives the<br>
following error..<br>
<br>
[vishwa@hpc4 ~]$ paraview<br>
ERROR: In<br>
/home/kitware/ParaView-3.6/ParaView3/VTK/Rendering/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx,<br>
line 632<br>
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x143bb10): Cannot create GLX<br>
context. Aborting.<br>
<br>
<br>
and i dont' have /home/kitware etc...directory...so i dont<br>
understand what is happening..<br>
<br>
I made sure that i included the path of the bin and lib in the<br>
newly downloaded binary..<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
<br>

Your command isn't quite right, specifically how you are<br>
trying to specify the compute node.<br>
<br>
Take a look at the section here,<br>

It's a little closer to your situation.<br>

Currently you are not launching the server<br>
in reverse<br>
connection mode. To launch the server in<br>
reverse<br>
connection<br>
mode, you need to give it the arguments -rc (or<br>
--reverse-connection) and<br>
--client-host=/<a href="http://laptop.hostname.com/" target="_blank">laptop.hostname.com/</a><br>
<<a href="http://laptop.hostname.com/" target="_blank">http://laptop.hostname.com/</a>><br>
<<a href="http://laptop.hostname.com/" target="_blank">http://laptop.hostname.com/</a>><br>
<<a href="http://laptop.hostname.com/" target="_blank">http://laptop.hostname.com/</a>>. When given these<br>
arguments,<br>
the server will immediately try to make a<br>
connection to<br>
/<a href="http://laptop.hostname.com/" target="_blank">laptop.hostname.com/</a><br>
<<a href="http://laptop.hostname.com/" target="_blank">http://laptop.hostname.com/</a>> <<a href="http://laptop.hostname.com/" target="_blank">http://laptop.hostname.com/</a>><br>
<<a href="http://laptop.hostname.com/" target="_blank">http://laptop.hostname.com/</a>>. Thus,<br>
you first need to have your client running and<br>
waiting for the<br>
server to connect. After getting things set up,<br>
you should<br>
eventually try to set up your client to<br>
automatically start<br>
the server with an ssh call and then wait<br>
for the<br>
server to<br>
connect back.<br>

Hi,<br>
I would to visualize the data that is being<br>
computed on a<br>
hpc by<br>
using pvserver and paraview.<br>
<br>
i have come across a many documents<br>
saying how<br>
to connect<br>
and the<br>
one what i thought might be appropriate in my<br>
case would to<br>
be to<br>
run pvserver on the hpc and then connect<br>
to it usind<br>
server/client<br>
reverse connection from my desktop..<br>
<br>
here is the procedure that i use to<br>
connect to<br>
the hpc to<br>
submit job.<br>
<br>
i log in to the head node via ssh<br>
john@a.b.c.d<br>
<br>
i then submit my job using the the following<br>
script via<br>
qsub myscript<br>
<br>
<br>
*#PBS<br>
-lmem=2Gb,nodes=1:ppn=4,cput=24:00:00,walltime=24:00:00 cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR<br>
<br>
cat ${PBS_NODEFILE} > node1<br>
mpirun --machinefile ${PBS_NODEFILE} -np<br>
4 pvserver<br>
--use-offscreen-rendering -\<br>
-server-port=11111 >log1<br>
*<br>
in the node1 file, i get say node083 (and<br>
it is<br>
repeated 4<br>
times)<br>
<br>
I am not sure how to connect to this node<br>
say by<br>
running<br>
paraview<br>
from my laptop to visualize that.<br>
<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated..<br>
