Re: [Condor-users] better-analyze not available?

[Robert Rati <rrati@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, the problem comes in during the build, so if you build on a
RHEL5/Centos5 system then the resulting build won't have the
better-analyze option available.  However, if you install a pre-built
RHEL3 version of condor you should be have it available.  The pre-built
condor binaries contain all dependencies needed to run condor, so they
can really be run on just about any Linux distribution/version.

As to whether or not it will cleanly install over what you already have
installed, I'm not sure because I'm not sure how you built condor.  If
you are installing a pre-built RHEL3 on top of a pre-built RHEL5, then
there shouldn't be any problems.  It never hurts to backup a
configuration before an install just to be safe though.
