[Condor-users] Condor on the PS3

["Burnett, Ben" <ben.burnett@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all:

I'm installing Condor onto a PS3 and I'm just trying to establish if the problems I'm encountering are a product of my configuration, or the Condor binaries (likely the former).  So, there are two tar-balls that I've tried on my PS3 (Yellow Dog Linux release 6.2):

1) condor-7.5.2-linux-PPC-yd50-dynamic.tar.gz
2) condor-7.5.2-linux-PPC-yd50.tar.gz

(1) works as I would expect (but I tried is after struggling with (2) for a while).  However, if I execute any binary from (2), it results in a segmentation fault.  So I've settled on using (1), but I'm just curious why (2) does not work?

I ran gdb on the condor_status and I get the following:

Any ideas why getpwnam() might be failing here (i.e. condor-7.5.2-linux-PPC-yd50.tar.gz), but not in condor-7.5.2-linux-PPC-yd50-dynamic.tar.gz.
