OpenPBS

[Logic]

I am having an install problem with OpenPBS on a Red Hat 9 computer.

I keep getting the following error when trying to install the software.

error: Failed dependencies:
libtcl8.0.so is needed by openpbs-2.3pl2-1
libtk8.0.so is needed by openpbs-2.3pl2-1
/usr/bin/tclsh8.0 is needed by openpbs-2.3pl2-1
/usr/bin/wish8.0 is needed by openpbs-2.3pl2-1

I get this message when I type the following command 'rpm -i openpbs-2.3pl2-1.i386.rpm'

Any ideas or advice.

Thanks in advance

visit rpmfind.net. you need to download libtk, tclsh, libtcl, wish and install them first.

I have found the packages on the site that you recomended, but when I try to install the packages it says that they are older than the ones that are installed on the system.

The error message say that it is looking for /usr/bin/tclsh8.0 which is not there but I do have /usr/bin/tclsh8.3

Do you think that this version of OpenPBS is not compatible with RedHat 9?

[jasonlambert]

if you have all the required dependancies, it *should* be ok, you can use

rpm -i --force openpbs-2.3pl2-1.i386.rpm

when installing the openpbs rpm. (notice addition of --force)

I seem to get the same error message when I use the --force option.

I can't see why it is not working, I am installing as root, I have newer files than the ones required and it still isn't working.

Any other ideas?

You could use --nodeps to turn off dep's, but its not recomended at all. Why not just compile it by hand?

Hello All!
I've installed openpbs in a group of computers in my university and they work perfectly for a time, but since 2 or 3 months ago one of them always stays in "busy" state even when ther wern't any job or program running.

I fond that I can return that node to "free" state puting it offline (pbsnodes -o <nodename>) and then putting it back online (pbsnodes -r <nodename>) but I have to do it manually and eche time that this node has to reboot I have to do it .

I found in opnepbs mailing list archive someone who had the same problem, but no one answers him, if there is anybody here who can I will be very grateful to her.

here are the links to openpbs mailing list archive if any of you has acces

so thankyou very much!
