[Condor-users] Checkpointing failed on X86_64

[Junjun Mao <jmao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I compiled this simple program with condor_compile gcc -o count count.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
   int Counter = 0;
   int i;

   if (argc < 2) {
      printf("count num_seconds\n");
      return 0;
   }

   Counter = atoi(argv[1]);
   for (i=0; i<Counter; i++) {
      printf("%d\n", i); fflush(stdout);
      sleep(1);
   }

   return 0;
}

When I used condor_hold while the program was running I got this error 
in the log file:

001 (008.000.000) 11/17 19:13:25 Job executing on host:

        4754958  -  Run Bytes Received By Job

I looked for the manual 
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.8/1_5Availability.html#sec:Availability

It appears condor_compile is not supported on my platform Fedora Core 
4/Opteron. Is this the real reason?

Thanks
