I build and run VTK on an amazon machine using opengl. But I run in a window created with OpenNX. If you do this you will need to set <div><div>export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=yes</div><div><br></div><div>in your .bashrc file.</div>

</div></div>You should be able to run VTK applications with OSMesa rendering where<br>
Mesa is used to do the rendering using software rendering. We have run<br>
VTK applications in lots of environments without GPUs, I have not<br>
personally tried on EC2 but have run other applications on there in<br>
some tests without issues.<br>
