[Condor-users] Having problem with root!

[Genie Jhang <geniejhang@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

I'm trying to run root jobs using  condor but I can't!

Here's my submit file.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Universe     = vanilla

Notification = Always

Executable   = /data/root_v5.26/bin/root

Arguments    = -l project.cpp

Request_cpus = 1

GetEnv       = True

Initialdir   = test

Output       = test.out

Error        = test.err

Log          = test.log

should_transfer_files   = YES

transfer_input_files = project.cpp,project_cpp.d,project_cpp.so

when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT_OR_EVICT

Queue

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I'm getting an error like

condor_exec.exe: can't start ROOT -- check that /condor-local-dir/execute/bin/root.exe exists!

I found out that when I run a job with condor, condor copies the excutable to local-dir spool folder and run it there.

But, root dones't act with only one excutable.

I already looked up the tutorial and found one example.

Example 2 - Vanilla Universe

A second example submits a run of the program mathematica as a vanilla universe job. If a program cannot be re-compiled using condor_compile, it can still be run under Condor. This will be necessary where the source and/or object code to a program is not available. The execution of the job under Condor may be less efficient under the vanilla universe, but it can be run.

  executable     = mathematica
  universe       = vanilla 
  input          = test.data                
  output         = test.out                
  error          = test.error             
  log            = test.log                                                    
                                  
  queue

What i've done is just changing mathematica into root.

And they're just the same mechanism i think.

Please help me.

Thanks!!
