Well, as the author of that patch I can say: Yes, it fixes the
compilation problems on Linux 2.4, but it seems as queue doesn't
work (as advertised :) on 2.4

Basically, what I did was to install queue as non-root, on four
identical machines, add "queue -i -w -n --" to all commands in a
Makefile, and fire off make to see what happended. Although queue
did try to process the commands spawned by make, they were not
done "interactively", and they certainly didn't get executed
right (possibly not at all).

After some further struggling with queue, I have pushed it aside
as not being mature for our (production) use, and gone in search
of alternatives.

[I've tried LSF and it seems over-heavy (and expensive!) for our
use.  Condor and GridWare is next on the list]

If desired, I can test patches.  I have some ideas for improving
the setup of the cluster & the queues, based on our (Exbit's) setup
and requirements.

Regards,


Kai
