Hi *,

has anybody tried to install the gLite UI on a RHEL4/64bit System?

I have found some problems doing so:

* full 32bit compatibility environment installed

* installed glite-UI using these repos:

    http://glitesoft.cern.ch/EGEE/gLite/R3.1/generic/sl4/i386

    http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/LCG-CAs/current/

    jpackage 1.7

Working with the edg-* group of commands works fine (like edg-job-submit

[only with option --old], edg-job-status, edg-job-get-output).

But voms-proxy-init fails. I get the following output and then the

command hangs forever:

====================================================================

-bash-3.00$ voms-proxy-init --debug --voms atlas

Detected Globus version: 22

Unspecified proxy version, settling on Globus version: 2

====================================================================

I suspect that something with the communication with the VOMS server

goes wrong, possibly openssl?

With "tcpdump host voms.cern.ch" I find that on a working glite-UI

(gLite 3.0, SLC 3) there is a total of 51 TCP/IP packets being exchanged

while obtaining a voms-proxy.

On the 64bit system I observe only 34 TCP/IP packets being exchanged.

Does anybody have an idea what might go wrong?

Thanks for any help,
