Andrew:

I was able to run "make -j10" without any problems.  The primary difference
is the Linux kernel version.  I am running 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64.  I
also had selinux disabled.

My environment used orangefs-2.8.5, 3 servers and 1 client, all on the same
machine.  My OFS configure command looked like:

 ./configure --prefix=/home/bligon/orangefs-2.8.5/install
--with-kernel=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64 --with-db=/opt/db4

I ran the following commands:

cd /mnt/pvfs2
tar -xzf torque-3.0.5.tar.gz
cd torque-3.0.5
./configure
make -j10

To narrow down the problem, could you please configure your OFS
installation as I did with mine?  The with-db option is only needed if your
installation of Berkeley DB is not in the standard location.  BTW, which
version of BDB are you using?  I am running 4.8.30.  --prefix isn't
required either.  If you're not running 4.8.30 or later, you need to be.

Thanks,
Becky
