Hi there,

I have a prototpye of an x86_64 CentOS 6.4 machine and have come to see what
would be needed to go with the SGE 8.1.X series RPMS, rather than the old
6u2.5 series from back in the Sun days.

I grab the RPMS from http://arc.liv.ac.uk/downloads/SGE/releases/8.1.3

I check out the client's installation footprint

-----8<-------------8<-------------8<-------------8<-------------8<-------------8<--------
# yum localinstall gridengine-execd-8.1.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
gridengine-8.1.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
...
Installing:
 gridengine       x86_64 8.1.3-1.el6 /gridengine-8.1.3-1.el6.x86_64        49 M
 gridengine-execd x86_64 8.1.3-1.el6 /gridengine-execd-8.1.3-1.el6.x86_64 3.9 M
Installing for dependencies:
 hwloc            x86_64 1.5-1.el6   base                                 1.4 M

All seems good.

Now I come to try the qmaster

FLAC ? Ogg ? PulseAudio ?

So then I read the way the dependencies have developed and it seems that it's
down to the requirement for Java, as satisfied in the CentOS 6.4 distro.

--> Processing Dependency: java >= 1.6.0 for package:
gridengine-qmaster-8.1.3-1.el6.x86_64
...
--> Processing Dependency: libpulse.so.0(PULSE_0)(64bit) for package:
1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.61.1.11.11.el6_4.x86_64

and so on?

However, does an SGE 8 qmaster actually NEED Java. or is it some
functionality that could be split out
from the core ?
