How to Install ParaView on a remote server in Linux

ParaView Support
1

I downloaded the ParaView-5.6.1-MPI-Linux-64bit.tar (binary file?)
I ran pvserver from within the bin folder, and got the following error as:

"error while loading shared libraries: libOpenGL.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory "

Thanks.

Best regards,

Chester

Do you have OpenGL on the computer? Try running glxgears. What does that say?

I have exactly the same issue.

My system is Ubuntu 18.04 with a nvidia 1080ti graphics card. It is running the nvidia driver provided through the Ubuntu software manager.

Cheers,
Bernard.

  • On my system, the output of glxgear is:

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.138 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.999 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.998 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.998 FPS
^C

  • I also attach as a separate file the output of glxinfo.

Thanks in advance for any info pointing to the right direction…

Cheers,
Bernard.
