I have downloaded and yum installed

paraview-3.10.1-4.el6.x86_64.rpm

paraview-data-3.10.1-4.el6.noarch.rpm

The application installs, but immediately crashes X windows. 
/var/log/Xorg.*.log and /var/log/messages, and the like, show
nothing obvious (to me).  The screen goes black, and then I am back to 
the window manager SL 6 login splash screen.  The
system allows me to log in and everything works unless I again invoke 
paraview, in which case the cycle repeats.

Does anyone have a working EL 6 X86-64 paraview, and if so, was it an 
RPM install, the binaries as provided by Paraview as
a tar.gz file, or was it built from source?  How is it configured?

Thus far, there has been response via the paraview list (a different 
list than SL).
