Hi Steve,

sorry for the late reply - I was ill yesterday and couldn't follow up on this.

it came out of the Condor repository

[root@pilot ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/condor-development-rhel5.repo 
[condor-development]
name=Condor Development RPM Repository for Redhat Enterprise Linux 5
baseurl=http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/yum/development/rhel5
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
[root@pilot ~]# 

But I downloaded now the RPM from the web and replaced it with that one - just in case.

that was the hint I needed!!

As I only have one "non-condor" user, I could get around with adding this to /etc/profile.d/grid-env.sh:

if [ X`/usr/bin/id -u` != X500 ]; then
gridpath_prepend     "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" "/usr/lib64/condor"
fi

as the last entry of the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" list (id 500 is the "pilot" user, which needs for example a running voms-proxy-init).

Thanks a lot for your help, everything seems to work now.

Best regards,

   Torsten
