This page contains a list of packages required on the SL4/64 WN platform using glite3.1.

GLite on SC4 describe workarounds for installing glite 3.0 on SL4/64. A lot of these issues have been addressed in glite 3.1 but WNs still need:

1. 32bit version of python (for the middleware LFC python API)
2. compatibility libraries (for building various VO software)

The 32bit python should be installed alongside the native 64bit version. A package has been provided by Michel Jouvin at LAL for this purpose (lal-python-bin-2.3.4-14.2) and simply requires a link to be made to ensure the middleware scripts pick this up (/opt/glite/bin/python2 -> /usr/bin/python32). Note lal-python-bin depends on the 32bit python which you will need to add to a local repository.

Atlas notes

1. Atlas production will use a binary called python32 if available.
2. Required package list
3. Another package list (more recent)
4. Release software will need re-installing if moving from 32->64bit, the latest KITs will deal correctly with 64bit.

Kickstart config

Our SL4 WNs have the following kickstart groups installed which supply most of the packages.

%packages --resolvedeps
@ development-libs
@ development-tools
@ compat-arch-support
@ compat-arch-development
@ x-software-development
yum-protectbase
ntp
%post

CFEngine config

These are the cfengine rules we've settled on at Lancaster, please amend this page with updates for other VOs. We've only really dealt with atlas, lhcb, and t2k requirements.
