Re: [Condor-users] Condor Problem with Environment

["Kewley, J \(John\)" <j.kewley@xxxxxxxx>]

You are trying to run an executable on a different machine to where it was built.
This will only work if it can get access to all the shared object libraries it needs.

You must therefore choose from the following options:
1. Link statically so there are no further dependencies on dynamic libraries
   (not always possible for 3rd party products), or at least link statically against
   the libraries that are not either "at-hand" to take with job, or already on target machine.
2. Use some sort of shared filestore (NFS for instance) combined with environment variables
   so that these dynamic libraries can be "seen" from executable machine.
3. If the set of libraries will be frequently accessed and infrequently updated - copy them
   across to (at least a subset of) your executable machines so that they are accessible
   by your condor jobs (this may leave a large permanent footprint on condor execute nodes,
   also if you only put it on a few machines, they will need special ClassAds stating that
   these particular libraries are already there).
4. Take all the libraries with you every time - they then need listing in the
   transfer_input_files directive

or some combination of above
