[mpich-discuss] Hydra torque support issues

[Brock Palen]

Bharath,

(sorry on road real quick)

I do this with hydra+mvapich with Matlab and it does work.

In my case I didn't find how to tell hydra when building mpich/mvapich to tell it where libtorque.so lives. 

To resolve this I download hydra alone and build it giving explicit options to it to find the torque library.  Then you get the expected behavior.  I don't have the directions for how I did this handy.
