Hi Daniela
Thanks for this overview of LondonGrid positions. (It would be useful to get this from the other Tier-2s this week).
All
Input to yesterday's meeting suggested an interest in taking the relocatable route forward (i.e. recompiling and following the documentation) at Birmingham and Ewan offered to help with it. Perhaps Chris and Ewan we could have a discussion of the findings at GridPP26 (the next all sites meeting was to be on 29th)? The email I circulated last week suggested some "developer instructions" for compiling glexec with an alternate path - I'll see if I can find those instructions.
Thanks,
Jeremy
