[Mauiusers] Re: error compiling maui-3.2.6p16 with torque-2.1.[0-2]

[Meghana Kshirsagar]

Hello.

I encountered the same problem too..

>> configure: error: can't find pbs-config or libpbs.a

Trying to install the latest maui patches didn't work, nor did creating a
symlink to libtorque.a. I instead created a symlink to 'pbs_config' itself in
the torque installation directory. And then "configure" worked fine.

However, the integration of TORQUE with MAUI doesn't seem to have gone well.
Since, upon restarting the servers (pbs_server, maui), and using the command
"showq" no jobs are listed. Whereas listing jobs with "qstat" shows all
submitted jobs in the queue.

[root at sigma maui]# qstat
Job id              Name             User            Time Use S Queue
------------------- ---------------- --------------- -------- - -----
0.sigma             script.sh        wolf                   0 Q batch
1.sigma             script.sh        wolf                   0 Q batch


One more thing, 'qmgr' lists the pbs_version of my TORQUE installation correctly.

[root at sigma torque_spool]# qmgr -c 'p s'
#
# Create and define queue batch
#
create queue batch
set queue batch queue_type = Execution
set queue batch enabled = True
set queue batch started = True
#
# Set server attributes.
#
set server scheduling = True
set server managers = root at sigma.me.iitb.ac.in
set server operators = root at sigma.me.iitb.ac.in
set server default_queue = batch
set server log_events = 511
set server mail_from = adm
set server resources_default.nodect = 1
set server resources_default.nodes = 1
set server resources_default.walltime = 00:05:00
set server scheduler_iteration = 600
set server node_check_rate = 150
set server tcp_timeout = 6
set server pbs_version = 2.1.6

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I hadn't specified this anywhere.. but it
seems to have detected it correctly.


PLEASE HELP !
