I am configuring Torque to run in SL 6.2 on a multi-core NUMA system, and find that I need to configure it with for 'cpusets', i.e. libcpuset. A web search has found little mention of it in Scientific Linux documentation, but it does seem to be available in Debian, Ubuntu, and a few other distributions. Does anyone have any knowledge of Torque with libcpuset for Scientific Linux? If not, would it be possible to install it via the RPM's from these other distributions?
It would almost definitely require that you rebuild the package from source. This is usually pretty easy, but sometimes going between Debian and Fedora-based distros you find that one dep turns into ten and porting the dependency becomes a repackaging adventure of its own.
I find going from SuSE or Vine to be a lot easier in the lucky case that you can find the package you want over there.
