Setting up pbs for use with molpro

[Timothy John Giese]

If you are using redhat 9, you may need to patch the source code - so 
you'd have to get yourself a source tarball.
I just setup a set of rh9 desktop machines a few weeks ago to run pbs 
and created a webpage documenting what I did
so that it wouldn't be hard for me to set something similar up in the 
future.  (It should be fairly step-by-step and fairly accurate).

The node installation instructions should have links to the patches that 
would be needed to run on redhat 9.  I'm using the cluster to distribute 
small 1-proc jobs across machines and cannot provide any help with 
regard to multi-node processes.

Cheers,
Tim Giese

I have followed the instaructions on the PORTABLE BATCH SYSTEM (PBS) MINI-HOWTO site (http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/CAMP/pbs.html), however, nothing is working at all and the manual may as well be in klingon for all the use it is...
