Description From Mats Rynge 2006-01-24 11:38:57

GRAM does not check for all the dependencies at build time. One I have run into
a couple of times is XML/Parser.pm

It can be really hard to figure out what the problem is. The only thing in the
container log is:

2006-01-24 09:02:51,373 DEBUG perl.JobManagerScript [Thread-19,run:191]
Executing command:
/scratch/rynge/HEAD/install/libexec/globus-gridmap-and-execute -g
/etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile
/scratch/rynge/HEAD/install/libexec/globus-job-manager-
script.pl -m fork -f /scratch/rynge/HEAD/install/tmp/gram_job_mgr60085.tmp -c submit
2006-01-24 09:02:51,422 DEBUG perl.JobManagerScript [Thread-19,run:208] first

line: GRAM_SCRIPT_ERROR:21
2006-01-24 09:02:51,424 DEBUG perl.JobManagerScript [Thread-19,run:250] checking
for anything on stderr...


There might me more perl modules which should be checked for. A sample autoconf
macro:

  AC_MSG_CHECKING(for XML::Parser Perl module)
  `$PERL -MXML::Parser -e 'exit 0;' >/dev/null 2>&1`
  if test $? != "0"; then
    AC_MSG_ERROR(failed)
    exit 1;
  fi;
  AC_MSG_RESULT(ok)

I added a check to the GRAM setup package which will display 

ERROR: Required perl module XML::Parser not found

if the module is not found at setup time.

Do we need to add this to the admin guide's prereq list?

------- Comment #3 From Mats Rynge 2006-02-01 11:41:42 -------

Probably. It will be a problem to keep track of all these tiny dependencies.
Looking at the new test package (Bug 3705), it has a bunch of perl deps as well:

Getopt::Long
Term::ANSIColor
Test::Harness::Straps
HTML::Template
IPC::Shareable

I'm reopening, this fix should be added to the 4 0 branch too.

------- Comment #6 From Martin Feller 2007-05-03 10:01:43 -------

I committed the check for the XML:Parser Perl module Joe did
in HEAD to the 4.0 branch.
