You're using VirtualBox, what is the host os? I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that it's a symlink? I'd try rm'ing the symlink and making a copy of the library named libOSMesa.so. If that doesn't help you could always restore the symlink.

Hi paraviewers,

I'm trying to build ParaView with OSMesa (and gallium/llvmpipe) as described here:

http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/ParaView_And_Mesa_3D

I am working on a virtual box machine with Ubuntu 13.04 installed. I have followed the instructions for building osmesa and then ParaView, but I have run into the following error during the ParaView compile phase:

Linking CXX shared library ../../../lib/libvtkftgl-pv4.1.so <http://libvtkftgl-pv4.1.so>

As demonstrated above, the library is right where make says it can't find it. However, I'm not familiar with this form of specifying a library with the '-l' flag. Usually, I would say something like '-l OSMesa', if I wanted to link against 'libOSMesa.so', then I would say where it is located with the 'L' flag. Anyway, does anyone have any idea what I could have done wrong to achieve this error? I have included my CMakeCache.txt, but I can provide other information if it would be useful.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Scott
