[Condor-users] Directory creation problem with 7.4.1 on Fedora 12?

[Adam Huffman <adam.huffman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've installed 7.4.1 from the Fedora repositories on a brand new
Fedora 12 machine.

Whenever I submit jobs to that machine, the jobs move to the Hold
state.  Here's an example error message on the central manager:

112.016:  Request is held.

Hold reason: Error from starter on slot21@...man.ac.uk: Failed to
execute '/var/lib/condor/execute/dir_2772/condor_exec.exe': No such
file or directory

and on the execute host itself:

In fact there are no subdirectories in /var/lib/condor/execute, so I
wonder whether it's having trouble creating them.  I added
transfer_executable = true to the submit file, even though it wasn't
needed before.  It didn't make any difference.

The same version (7.4.1) is working on an older Fedora 12 machine, the
difference being that it may have an older version of condor_config,
as it's been upgraded several times.
