[Bug 427534] Re: Viper plotting does not work in parallel from C++

 

I tried to work around this bug but without luck. For some reason, the
combination of MPI, VTK (Viper) and system() leads to errors like

routed:binomial: Connection to lifeline [[27229,0],0] lost

The error does not show up if the call to viper is replaced by a call to
for example xterm.

The error does not show up if MPI::Init() is not called.
