Yes, generally annoying if you don't have Java installed for other purposes when there's no headless version. > However, does an SGE 8 qmaster actually NEED Java. or is it some > functionality that could be split out > from the core ? You can build the SRPM with "rpmbuild --without java" to avoid all java, including the DRMAA library and GUI installer as well as the JMX stuff in qmaster. I was going to say something else, but I've just checked the spec file, and I think the explicit dependency there is unnecessary, even if you have built it with jmx -- configuring the jvm thread should fail in an obvious way if you don't have libjvm. I also thought the rpm build pulled in java due to the .jars in the common gridengine package, but it doesn't. So yes, I think the dependency on Java is currently unnecessary, at least if the GUI installer is split out (which should require it). Thanks for questioning that. -- Community Grid Engine: http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@gridengine.org https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
