To add to my own message for clarification: I tried to build our existing
OpenPBS sources under SL3 and failed.  Steve Traylen suggested I try Torque
which is a variant of OpenPBS and that worked first time, though I think I
had to add an option to the spec file to make sl3 configure/build as if it
was Redhat rather than some other Linux.

Alan,

We have the torque variant running in production on the Tier1 at RAL.  It is
v1.0.1p6-8 and claims to have lots of the patches for OpenPBS integrated.
So far I have no evidence to suggest otherwise since it is much more stable
than our older OpenPBS server.

As I recall, it compiled `out of the box' and I don't recall any issues with
extra dependencies - though there may have been.

We run the MAUI scheduler on top, works fine.

Martin.

Hi,

  Has anyone succesfully installed OpenPBS on Scientifc Linux? I have
dowloaded OpenPBS_2_3_16 from http://www.openpbs.org/UserArea, but can't get
it to compile.
