Not actually used it, but I have haven't heard of any show stoppers.
I have heard of people using the 32bit SL3 build under SL4 with
minimal problems - you need to push a few necessary SL3 packages onto
the SL4 machine. This is currently our plan for DPM at Glasgow -
certainly to run the disk pools with SL43.
I don't know of anyone actually having built it natively for SL4 or
RHEL4, but I'm sure the gLite team would be delighted if you tried...
and ecstatic if you succeed.
Which reminds me that the page I started here, http://
www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Building_DPM, is out of date. DPM is (has?)
been integrated into the main gLite build system. Probably worth
dropping a line to [log in to unmask] if you wanted to build it
from scratch.
Cheers

Plus 3 FTEs, the LSF batch system and Oracle. I know you're a
sysadmin hero already Kostas, but port CASTOR and your ascension to
the divine is guaranteed...
