Given these particular symptoms, launching Mathematica with the -mesa option
has a reasonably good chance of fixing your issue.
Also, notice that the original input your provided,
RegionPlot3D[x^2+y^2+z^2, {x,-1,1}, {y,-1,1}, {z,-1,1}]
is incorrect, since the first argument is not a boolean combination of
inequalities. This will produce an empty plot on any version of Mathematica.
If you have a copy Mathematica for OSX but you need to perform your
computations on the server, another option is to use the OSX frontend with the
kernel running on the server. Kernel Configuration Options... in the
evaluation menu.

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment to fix a
travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found its way onto un*x
systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a software monopolist, they survive
as soldiers of fortune. If you share their vision, if you know you can help,
and if you can connect to internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
