Dear all.

I've installed OF and paraview fia apt-get on a new ubuntu machine that will be used as muscle for my pre and post processing.

i can start the paraview server there and connect to it from my machine with the client. no issues about that

BUT i cannot start more than 1 pvserver. i'd like to make full use of the cores on that machine.

what i tried is:

mpirun -np 4 pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering

and the output is

 mpirun -np 4 pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering

I've found on a paraview mailing list a similar error :

http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/pa...ry/024001.html

and the solution provided was to

Verify that the paraview is built with mpi enabled (PARAVIEW_USE_MPI cmake flag must be ON). In most likelihood, it's not.

I think that this solution requires to recompile paraview from source. i was hoping to avoid it. any ideas on how fix this issue?
