Installing condor on RHEL7

[Larry Martell]

I am new to condor. Installed on RHEL 7 following this:

http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor//manual/v8.6/3_2Installation_Start.html#SECTION00422200000000000000

That references this: http://htcondor.org/yum/repo.d/condor-stable-rhel7.repo

But that did not exist. I used this instead:

http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor//yum/repo.d/htcondor-stable-rhel7.repo

Install seemed to go fine. According to the docs "The configuration
files are in the directory /etc/condor/" But I have no /etc/condor
dir. Do I need to do something after the install?

I did post to the condor list, but I did not get any replies.

Yes, I followed the instructions at:

I downloaded the latest condor-all package and took a look at it.

If you installed condor-all, it should have installed several dependencies
(since it is really a meta-package that contains no files but only requires
other packages), one of which is the condor package. It should contain the
/etc/condor/ directory, as well as condor configuration files.

I agree it should. It seems it was not installed, but I am not sure
what to do now. Yesterday when I tried to install it, it seemed that a
lot of things were installed. Unfortunately I do not have the output
any more. I did try it again, and nothing was
installed.

Check out 'yum history' to see the transaction. I did a test install and
it does install the 'condor' package as a dependency, so perhaps you've
already got another package installed that provides the dependency, or you
deleted /etc/condor and forgot.

You could try a 'yum reinstall condor' to force it to install.

That doesn't seem to say what was installed, but clearly it does not show
that I installed anything yesterday.

$ sudo yum history

No, because I looked for it immediately after the install.

Sorry, I expected you to follow through and examine one of those
transactions to see the contents. Read the man page for yum to learn how
to use 'yum history' to examine the transactions.

Are you sure you aren't excluding condor in your yum config? Try "grep -r
exclude /etc/yum*". There's also a condor package in EPEL, perhaps you've
set up an exclude line so you get the htcondor repo's instead?

Yeah, I should have done that. I am not a sysadmin (nor do I play one
on TV). I am a developer who is being pushed into a role I do not
want.

But I figured this out. One package was getting 'Package
c-ares-1.10.0-3.el7.x86_64.rpm is not signed' and that was preventing
the install. I did the install with '--nogpgcheck' and it worked.

Thanks all for the help.
