[Paraview] PV 3.14.1 little endian client / big endian server?

[Takuya OSHIMA]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has got PV 3.14.1 working with a little endian
client / big endian server setup? I am trying to run PV with the
client-server setup

Client:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel)
PV 3.14.1 OS X 64-bit binary downloaded from Kitware

Server:
Fujitsu FX10 (SPARC IXfx)
PV 3.14.1 cross-compiled on x86-64 Linux with CMake 2.8.7, FCCpx compiler

and am getting crashes both on the server and the client as
follows. There are other possible causes e.g. a bit tricky network
connection (using portfwd) but I am curious if PV is supposed to work
with this type of setup in the first place.

Server error messages:
mpiexec ~/fx/20120415/bin/pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering

Connection URL: cs://xxxxx:11111
