I wanted to note that the Globus team is planning to build on the work that Mattias at NorduGrid has done, to make native packaging (rpm, deb) standard for the Globus Toolkit, for future releases (targeted for 5.2). In the meantime, the GT4 prews packages, or GT5 packages (packaged by Mattias, as Steffen just mentioned) in the Fedora or Debian repositories may be helpful.
