Checklist

I have searched for similar issues.
For Python issues, I have tested with the latest development wheel.
I have checked the release documentation and the latest documentation (for main branch).

Steps to reproduce the issue

Installation verification is successful:

python -c "import open3d as o3d; print(o3d.__version__)"
0.19.0

However, running the basic Python API test segfaults:

bash

python -c "import open3d as o3d; \
           mesh = o3d.geometry.TriangleMesh.create_sphere(); \
           mesh.compute_vertex_normals(); \
           o3d.visualization.draw(mesh, raw_mode=True)"

Error message

bash

FEngine (64 bits) created at 0x7e801d46b010 (threading is enabled)
FEngine resolved backend: OpenGL
Segmentation fault         (core dumped)
