No "--enable-gl-osmesa" ?

1) Make sure you've got -fvisibility=hidden when you're building;
the VBO code seems to exist in multiple s.o. and i've seen similar
segfaults before w.r.t. jumping into the wrong shared object (since
Mesa has two libs that VTK needs).

2) Make sure to switch the Mesa libraries in VTK's CMake step.  The
critical component is that your link lines must put "OSMesa" and
"MesaGL" in the 'correct' ordering, where 'correct' depends on which
you want to use (sounds like OSMesa in your case, so OSMesa should come
first).

3) Doesn't seem likely that ::OpenGLInit calls vbo_exec_EvalCoord1fv :)
Are you missing debug symbols in Mesa?  Could you get a stack trace w/
full debug symbols?
