Just a bad idea from me, Mathieu ! I went back to the master branch today and try to build Paraview. I would like to have pvserver and the paraview client on this server, even if it has no GPU, because I will use it for a workshop session outside of the lab in a few weeks. I ran:

> cmake3 \  
> -DCMAKE\_INSTALL\_PREFIX=/opt/paraview/GCC7/v5.7 \  
> -DENABLE\_ffmpeg=ON \  
> -DENABLE\_fortran=ON \  
> -DENABLE\_llvm=ON \  
> -DENABLE\_mpi=ON \  
> -DENABLE\_netcdf=OFF \  
> -DENABLE\_osmesa=OFF \  
> -DENABLE\_png=ON \  
> -DENABLE\_xdmf3=ON \  
> -DCMAKE\_VERBOSE\_MAKEFILE=ON \  
> -DUSE\_SYSTEM\_mpi=ON \  
> -DUSE\_SYSTEM\_python3=ON \  
> -DENABLE\_python3=ON \  
> -DENABLE\_mesa=ON \  
> -DENABLE\_qt5=ON \  
> …/paraview-superbuild

and all seams to run fine for the requiered libs. But building Paraview goes in error with:

> gmake[5]: Entering directory `/robin/data/begou/PARAVIEW/build/superbuild/paraview/build' //usr/lib64/libSM.so.6: undefined reference to `uuid\_generate@UUID\_1.0’  
> //usr/lib64/libSM.so.6: undefined reference to `uuid_unparse_lower@UUID_1.0' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[5]: *** [bin/pvrenderserver] Error 1 gmake[5]: Leaving directory `/robin/data/begou/PARAVIEW/build/superbuild/paraview/build’  
> gmake[4]: \*\*\* [CommandLineExecutables/CMakeFiles/pvrenderserver.dir/all] Error 2

I saw the thread [PV-compilation problems with libSM and uuid](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/pv-compilation-problems-with-libsm-and-uuid/884) but it did not help me solving this new problem.
