Error compiling Paraview with off-screen rendering with Mesa

Question

I'm trying compile paraview-4.4 on OpenSuse to run as a server with off-screen rendering support. As I don't have graphics hardware therefore I want to use Mesa for graphics.

I followed instructions on this page.

to use Mesa-7.7 I configure Mesa with,

./configure --with-driver=xlib --enable-osmesa --prefix={MESA_INSTALL_PREFIX}

After compiling mesa I tried to compile Paraview but getting following error,

Could you help me fix this issue?

Check whether you link OpenGL library. Check also library link order.
