The cmake variable needs to point to the library itself like: 
/home/ubuntu/osmesa/lib/libOSMesa.so

 /home/ubuntu/osmesa/ is the directory that the osmesa files were built to...

Can I still do volume rendering with osmesa, or is this a gpu thing?

Pat,
Alrighty, I will make sure to do that. I think the best option is to do a pure 
osmesa build (it sounds like its simpler at the end of the day...) but I am 
certainly up for recommendations otherwise. Thanks
Matt

Also, when compiling set VTK_USE_X to OFF.  An ldd on your binary should show 
no X11 library dependencies either.  When compiled without X, you dont need to 
specify any --use-offscreen-rendering flag to pvserver.  It is possible to 
compile with X and libGL and OSMesa, but it sounds like you are trying to 
create a pure osmesa build?

Try MesaLib-7.6.1.tar.gz

Make sure you configure with --driver osmesa.  The result should be a libOSMesa 
and libGLU, no libGL.  Paraview should link only with libOSMesa, no to libGL.  
When you're done build paraview, an ldd on the binary should reveal no 
dependencies on libGL, only libOSMesa.

Thank you, I have been using that section as a guideline for getting this thing 
set up. Perhaps someone on the list has a recommendation for a known version of 
mesa that works with PV 3.8/3.10?

Hi Matthew,

The ParaView Users Guide has a section on setting up offscreen rendering using 
OSMesa which you can read at:

If there are no suggestions in terms of Amazon machines, perhaps some info 
somewhere regarding offscreen rendering for a headless paraview server? I have 
searched through the mail archives to the best of my ability, and followed the 
instructions on the server build wiki, and I am just not quite able to get PV 
to build correctly. Sorry to keep pestering.
Thanks

Just curious if anyone has any experience setting up a Paraview server on 
Amazon's EC2 platform. I have compiled VTK a few times in the past, but I am 
spinning my wheels trying to square away offscreen rendering and parallel 
processing. I know this doesn't necessarily need to relate to EC2, but I am 
wondering if someone has some pre-made images floating around, or some tips. 
Thanks.
M Dillon
