If you are using redhat 9, you may need to patch the source code - so you'd have to get yourself a source tarball.
I just setup a set of rh9 desktop machines a few weeks ago to run pbs and created a webpage documenting what I did
so that it wouldn't be hard for me to set something similar up in the future. (It should be fairly step-by-step and fairly accurate).

The node installation instructions should have links to the patches that would be needed to run on redhat 9. I'm using the cluster to distribute small 1-proc jobs across machines and cannot provide any help with regard to multi-node processes.

Cheers,

Dear All,
I am trying to set up openPBS to control parallel molpro on our small (4 node/2cpu per 
node) cluster.  I have used the .rpm version that came on my linux installation disk. 
I have followed the instaructions on the PORTABLE BATCH SYSTEM (PBS) MINI-HOWTO site 
(http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/CAMP/pbs.html), however, nothing is working at all and the 
manual may as well be in klingon for all the use it is...

Does anyone have experience setting up openPBS on a linux cluster and would be willing to help me out a little.

Thanks in advance,
Martyn
