We are running phenix (743) on a RHEL5 dual quad, multithread, making a composite omit map pf a very large structure (750 AA) and the system keeps getting locked up. Have anyone else seen this type of problem? Does multiprocessing work well on RHEL or just FC versions? We needed to install the FC8 version (/phenix-1.7.1-743/build/intel-linux-2.6-x86_64) to get it to work. So maybe we are using the wrong version? Shoiuld I recompile it for our system?
As far as I know we haven't heard of compatibility problems between RedHat/Fedora versions; the Fedora 3 build is usually very portable. I'm actually surprised that the FC8 build works, because I'm pretty sure it uses newer versions of many things than RHEL5. But you should use whatever works, of course. Compiling from source is theoretically the safest option, but there are a few systems on which wxPython mysteriously fails to build, including CentOS 5. I don't know whether RHEL 5 will have the same problem.
Why is the gui always open when we are running long jobs (many days)? We need to put this stuff in the background and log out so someone else can run.
