Plotting with a_boxfill kills UVCDAT (2.10)

[cameronsmith1]

I am running UVCDAT on crunchy.llnl.gov (v2.10)

When I try to plot a variable with a_boxfill, the gui window flashes a lot, then dies. --output-std provides the following errors:

DEPRECATED: Use linetype or setLineAttributes instead.
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

UPDATE: The problem described above occurs when running an x-client on a PC (Windows 7 with x-win32).
When I try it using a Linux Client, UVCDAT doesn't die and produces the plot.

@cameronsmith1 this is a known VTK issue. @aashish24 @danlipsa @durack1 we really need to come up with some sort of script to run on machine. I have never been able to run vtk through an X forwarding.

@danlipsa provided some instructions at: CDAT/vcs#117

I'm also getting this error on vtk-cdat-7.1.0.2.12-py27hd6333ce. This is with X forwarding, even though I have mesalib 17.1.4 installed.

[zshaheen]

The problem was fixed when using the one with the mesalib feature enabled: vtk-cdat-7.1.0.2.12-py27_mesalibh6bab67e
