Mike,
Do you still have your source code build of ECCE? If so, I have a code change I'd like you to try. On my 64-bit RHEL 5.8 build, it keeps the Builder from crashing while using the native Mesa OpenGL libraries instead of the NVidia ones. What this change might do is mess up the text labels that are done in the GL viz area such as the "mode" text at the top-left (those may look like gibberish). We make gl calls to do that and some that specifically have to do with initializing the bitmapped font to use seem to be related to the crashing (that would also explain why a simpler glxgears program would work while the ECCE builder wouldn't).
The file to change is $ECCE_HOME/src/viz/atomnodes/SGLattice.C. In that file search for "SO_NODE_IS_FIRST". Before the "if" block that contains that expression, put an "#if 0". Then after the closing brace for that "if" block (right before the closing brace for the whole constructor method), put an "#endif". That is, you won't to conditionally compile out that whole if block. Save the file and do a "make" in that directory. Then do a "cd .." and do another "make" to create the shared library.
Then you can actually run "ebuilder" from your build rather than having to create a binary distribution and installing it. That's because ebuilder doesn't require the ECCE server to run so it's a special case. Make sure you are pointed though to the right version (your source code build rather than one of the binary distributions) by doing a "which ebuilder". Also make sure you revert the $ECCE_HOME/siteconfig/site_runtime file in terms of the ECCE_MESA_EXCEPT variable (you'll need to uncomment that if you currently have it commented). I'd change the ebuilder script itself and uncomment the ldd line near the end just to verify you are using the OpenGL libraries under /usr/lib64.
Let me know how that works for you. If it does work then this could also be related to your X-Win32 problem and you should try that as well.
