Dear Geoffroy,

I do not know where I've insulted you, but anyway if I've said anything 
inappropriate I would like to apologize. I greatly appreciate your work as an 
OSCAR developer and I didn't mean to offend you in any way. You're doing a 
great job.

To my question. It's seems that there is some misunderstanding. Regarding 
problem with Torque in step 3 as I said in first letter I solved it just by 
rebuilding opkg-torque-server package. I downloaded it and changed .spec file 
so that it depended on torque-oscar-modulefile instead of torque-modulefile. 
And step 3 went fine from that point.

Regarding step 4. I had GUI issue with error message in console I quoted below. 

I've just updated OSCAR from 6.0.3 to 6.1.0 a minute ago by `yum update` 
command and now GUI works fine. I'm able to run step 4 and waiting right now 
for image to be created.

The only issue I still have is switcher. When I go into configuring switcher 
window from GUI I see: “No pkg_config were supplied by any OSCAR packages – 
nothing to configure”. I choose openmpi, mpich and lam to install so it has to 
see those mpi implementations.

Regards,
Nikita

Nikita,

As i said, you may want to try to _not_ install the third-part packages that 
are creating the problems, the core of OSCAR should work pretty well (a user 
found a problem in C3 but we already have a fix that should be available very 
shortly). It is not a question of version of distribution but only that i 
cannot fix all the bugs right away.

So please, try to new packages. Obviously the problems you are facing are 
because of these issues and if you are still blocked, it means that you did not 
really fixed them. I try to be reactive, to help you, so could you please try 
to do what i suggest to you? That will really help.
So to summarize, i pushed new RPMs for Torque in unstable, i really advice you 
to test them. I am about to push new packages for Ganglia too, i really advice 
you to use these packages too. If you do not want to use these packages, i will 
not be able to help you.

BTW, if you fixed a problem by yourself, could you at least explained what you 
did? Otherwise i do not see how OSCAR could get better; this is an open source 
project, if i do not get feedback, there is no point of continuing on my side, 
i could maintain OSCAR on my side for my own needs and do not distribute it.

BTW, i am an OSCAR developer and the project chair, and i do not appreciate the 
fact that you question my position in the project, this is almost insutling. My 
name is official displayed on the website, and not difficult to find:
