Re: [Pipeline130-developers] Group participation

[Nils H. <nil...@uc...>]

I agree.  I will not be around Friday or over the weekend as I will be out
of town on important business.  Just a heads up.

Has anyone tried logging onto the test cluster?  There is not GUI so maybe
we should move away from using netbeans for development. I say this since I
was working on the DRMAA/Engine interface and you need to have the drmaa
library for linking, which isn¹t available on my local computer (I am not
going to install SGE on my computer).  Anyways, we could move back to a
simpler source tree hierarchy and just have Makefiles.  Then we could use
vim or whatever to develop on the cluster, which has DRMAA installed.

Alternatively, if anyone finds a way to link DRMAA for local development let
me know.  I am starting to like this IDE.
