Bad file descriptor error

Development

I am trying to get Paraview to run on an HPC Linux server.
Calling either pvpython or pvbatch from any of the two most recent pre-compiled versions
ParaView-5.7.0-osmesa-MPI-Linux-Python3.7-64bit and
ParaView-5.7.0-MPI-Linux-Python3.7-64bit,
I get the following error message.

[cli_0]: write_line error; fd=14 buf=:cmd=init pmi_version=1 pmi_subversion=1
:
system msg for write_line failure : Bad file descriptor
[cli_0]: Unable to write to PMI_fd
[cli_0]: write_line error; fd=14 buf=:cmd=get_appnum
:

ParaView (and other executables as pvbatch) should be started with the MPI they were built with.
In the distributed binaries you can find a compatible mpirun executable.
It is mainly OK for desktop use BUT in your case, you probably have a specific mpi for your HPC server, so will need to build your own ParaView.
