Thanks, Dave. Unfortunately, I'm not working from RPM. I don't recall there being an RPM when I first installed SGE (else I surely would have used it). I don't know how my directory structure matches up with the RPM structure, so I'm reluctant to try to install over the top of my current installation. I'm also apprehensive about recreating my custom settings. My upgrade process to date has been to get the .tar.gz's of the common and bin, place them in my installation directory and expand them in place. Since the libdb4* files are not in any of the binaries since March, they don't get properly overwritten when I follow this procedure. Then, qmaster won't start. Do you have any idea why the libdb4* files are not in the .tar.gz anymore? Chris seemed to think there was a likely simple explanation.

I don't understand what's the problem with installing the packages, and why they appear different to any others that typically need installing from outside the Red Hat distribution. If you don't trust the binaries, it's as simple as rpmbuild --rebuild gridengine-8.0.0b-1.src.rpm and yum install'ing any missing packages, like db4-devel, it complains about. (The 8.0.0c version has a mistaken gcc flag which requires the compiler from the RH5 gcc44 package.) There's nothing fundamentally different from the old EPEL packages except mine install in /opt/sge by default and don't try to set up SGE. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
