Re: [Condor-users] Problems with version 7.4.2

["Timothy St. Clair" <tstclair@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Unless you have a need for globus, I highly recommend "going native" on
fedora (11, 12, or 13).  It is a "proper" build linking against the
system distro'd libs.   

yum list condor
yum install condor 

Cheers,
Tim
