[Bioclusters] SGE Qmon on X Server

[Chris Dagdigian]

Hi Lorne,

I (finally) was able to build the latest CVS version of SGE-6.0beta2 on 
my OS X 10.3.3 powerbook this weekend. The X11 GUI works great.

Now that I have a working process I'll see if I can build the latest 
Grid Engine 5.3 from source as well.

The problem with the 5.3/6.0beta Apple binaries on the grid engine 
website may have to do with the fact that their darwin build server is 
running Mac OS X 10.2 at the moment.

This is what I ended up doing/needing in no particular order:

1. Apple DevTools must be installed

2. If you use Apple X11 you *need* the X11 SDK package installed which 
can only be found on the Apple DevTools cdrom. This was the cause of 
lots of fink/x11/openmotif issues until I realized that the X11 SDK had 
not been installed.

3. I had to build BerkeleyDB from www.sleepycat.com from source (this is 
required for SGE 6.0 but should not be required for SGE 5.3)

4. I used fink to install 'openmotif3' and 'openmotif3-shlibs' - these 
seem to be the main requirements necessary to get a working X11 qmon binary


I'm going to document what I did to get SGE 6.0beta2 built on 10.3.3 and 
after that I can try to do the same with the latest release of 5.3
