Mesa Build: Using Burlen's helpful tips I have moved to another step The cluster I was compiling on had python2.4.x which is not compatible with some stuff in mesa7.11. I found another build of python on the cluster which I ended up using to solve build problems. I wish mesa provided a mechanism

Hi Amit, Boost is very easy to install, it's only an un tar. Then you can point PV to it with -DBOOST_ROOT on your cmake command line. Does cmake really check environment variables for open gl and mpi paths? It's possible however, I've always passed them on the command line. That may be

I agree with Burlen, make sure you're passing in everything as -D arguments. Also I would start with a clean build if the mapreduce error wont go away. On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 12:13 PM, Burlen Loring blor...@lbl.gov wrote: Hi Amit, Boost is very easy to install, it's only an un tar. Then you

David and Burlen, Yes, the environment variables needs to be passed throught -D (doh!). The build completed after changing to a different MPI, I have another build compiling with boost libraries which seems to be chugging along well. I tried `mpirun –np 4 pvserver` which seems to be listening

Hello, I am trying to compile paraview for general usage on one of our clusters at SDSC. I wanted to ask what are the common paraview installation practices that are useful for general purpose. I would certainly need to compile the paraview server 1. Do I compile paraview with OSMesa or

Hi Amit, 1. Do I compile paraview with OSMesa or Xlib? (X is available on the cluster, will this require X on client?). Is it better to avoid X? The client and server are separate apps and can be compiled independently. If you have graphics hardware on your cluster you will want to use this

One thing I should clarify: When I said the client and server apps can be compiled independently, I meant with respect to X11/and OpenGL options. You will need to be aware that other build options are not as flexible. For instance if you want your users to be able to use binaries from

Burlen, Thanks for your explanations, they help me quite a bit. We don¹t have graphics hardware on the cluster. Although I am not sure if the graphics part in Sandy Bridge processors is suitable for some tasks. It would be worth exploring if these part can provide better efficiency than mesa.
