Hi Folks,
I am spending way too much time trying to get gridEngine up and
running on our OS X boxes. I started with version 5.3 (because I
thought it would be more "stable") and was able to get things working
via command line. However, despite a lot of effort I could not get
qmon to work, and given the complexity of the commands I really wanted
it to work. My aim is to make it available to everyone in our group,
including students.
I tried to google every relevant piece of information I could
(including messages on this list). The error message I cannot
eradicate is
Warning: Cannot find callback list in XtAddCallBack
(appearing dozens of times) which precedes the creation of a mangled
GUI. I cannot determine if this is an issue of the Qmon resource file
not being located (I copied it to every bloody place I could imagine,
followed by endless tinkering with the various path environment
variables that motif uses). My only minuscule success was to set the
environment variable CourierXBMLANGPATH
to point at the
CourierPIXMAPS directory under
Courier$SGE_ROOT/qmon
, which produced a reasonable-looking GUI but did not
eliminate the XtAddCallBack messages; and said GUI did not work. I
am no expert on motif (I have learned more than I ever expected to
know at this point) and cannot go much further.
SO, I decided to move up to version 6.0! I installed it remotely on
our network server (named "galapagos"). All seemed to go well. I added
my office machine ("cabriolet") as an admin host, and then tried again
to run qmon. It didn't work (in fact just terminated abruptly). When I
tried to run qconf on my office machine, I got this message:
Courier[cabriolet-usip-edu:/var/db/netinfo]
zauhar# qconf -sh
error: commlib error: access denied (client IP resolved to host name
"cabriolet.usip.edu". This is not identical to clients host name "ca)
ERROR: unable to contact qmaster using port 9902 on host
"galapagos.usip.edu"
Huh? The business about the host name resolution looks incredibly
peculiar.
Sorry for the clueless character of this message, but think how
superior you will feel if you can show me what an ass I am. :-)
Thanks in advance,
Randy

French, or Swahili? And why did the one alien speak English with an
Eastern European accent? I don't get it."
