My guess is that there is a symbol conflict between something in ParaView and OpenMPI 1.2.6. If switching to 1.3 does not fix the problem, we'll have to resort to debugging this some other way. -berk On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 8:59 AM, Rick Angelinian...@arl.army.mil wrote: Randall - try compiling

I'm currently waiting for the admins to Install OpenMPI1.3, but in the meantime I recompiled and linked against Mesa (rather than the nvidia drivers). Tada, all works. So there's definately some problem with NVidia Drivers + OpenMPI1.2.x -- Randall Hand Visualization Scientist

Randall - try compiling against Openmpi-1.3 and see if you get different results.We saw issues with compiling Paraview 3.x against Openmpi-1.2.6 that went away when we switch to Openmpi-1.3. j s wrote: Looking online, that is a nasty FPE, since it is a result of an integer operation,

Looking online, that is a nasty FPE, since it is a result of an integer operation, not a floating point operation. This is occuring at address NULL, which should not be possible. #8 0x in ?? () It looks like a function at address 0 is being called. Do you have more of the

I'm not sure if a function is being called through a null pointer, or gdb is reporting it for another reason. Something bad is happening in free(), which has nothing to do with numerics, but may have something to do with how your libraries are treating memory. Apparently bt is supposed to give

You may be able to try setting the environment variable: MALLOC_CHECK_ to 2 and the program should abort on the first instance of heap corruption. Regards, Juan On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 4:40 PM, j s j.s4...@gmail.com wrote: I'm not sure if a function is being called through a null pointer, or

Randall - we saw some execution-time failures of 3.6.1 that was related to an older version of the nVidia driver. We didn't see floating point exceptions, though - we saw socket errors related to the client-server connection. Moving to a newer version of the nVidia driver on the client
