[Condor-users] Running condor on MacOS

[Oren Livne <livne@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

This is my first time so it is not going smooth. I would like to add a 
mac os machine to our condor pool.

- Machine: Darwin orsonhenry.uchicago.edu 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 
10.8.0: Tue Jun  7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
- I downloaded and untared condor-7.8.4-x86_64_macos_10.7-stripped
- Created a condor user and condor group using dscl commands
- ./configure --install_dir="/usr/local/condor"
- su - condor , set CONDOR_CONFIG and PATH
- condor_init
- condor_master
- Using a condor_config.local file that works on other machines
- STARTD, MASTERD are running (as specified in that config file)

orsonhenry:~ root# !ps
ps aux | grep condor
condor   46851   0.0  0.1  2442260   4948   ??  Ss    4:46PM 0:00.05

condor   46850   0.0  0.1  2442892   2348   ??  Ss    4:46PM 0:00.02

grep condor

However,

orsonhenry:~ condor$ condor_status
Error: communication error

Nothing out of the ordinary. What am I doing wrong? How can I get this 
machine to join the pool?

Thanks,
Oren
