What version of Mesa are you using? Looks like it's Mesa 7.11. Starting with Mesa 7.9 (I think) you cannot link against both libGL and libOSMesa. Refer to notes on the ParaView Wiki: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_And_Mesa_3D. [^]

Looking are your ldd output, there's both libOSMesa and libGL and hence the segfault.

Thank you, it worked! Mesa is 7.11 indeed.

Maybe, it might be considered adding the reference to the ParaView wiki page
to the VTK FAQ where, for the offscreen rendering, mangled Mesa is described;
these new configuration options are much more straightforward to work with,
i.e. once all the details are covered.
Thanks.

I've added the reference to ParaView's more recent information on the VTK wiki as suggested.
Thank you
