I’m building the paraview superbuild, with osmesa, on ubuntu1804. I’ve used the superbuild successfully for paraview versions back to 5.4, but for 5.10 I can’t get it to work.

There are no issues with LLVM, gallium, or osmesa, but I come across the following VTK errors both with 5.10.0 and 5.10.1. Any ideas?

Hey @aerogt3 ,

what is your compiler version ?

Hi @aerogt3

This is a [known issue](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/issues/18515) for VTK with gcc 7. The [fix](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/merge_requests/9075) is merged in VTK-master branch.

Your best bet is to try a newer compiler or wait till ParaView is updated with the fix from VTK.

Thanks for the replies! So should I go with gcc \> 7.5? Or lower?

Alternatively, how would I get this VTK fix with the superbuild?

Please try gcc 9.

gcc 9 worked, thanks! For anyone who reads this thread in the future: gcc 8.4 did not work.
