Hello again; I'm trying to install parallel 20110822 on a lustre filesystem, and apparently it does not support flock() by default, and the system call dies with:
lock(7, LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented) Reference: http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/FAQ_-_Fundamentals see 'flock' This is a little vexing, as the makefile is just converting pod files to html, although I guess it's a clever way to run unit tests during the installation process: ./sem --fg --id pod2html pod2html ./parallel.pod > ./parallel.html Can the return status of 'flock' be checked for this sort of thing? I can't enable locking here, it's a shared computer cluster. Will parallel work without flock? Thanks
