The old-style url syntax is supposed to continue to work, if you have any details on what's not working I can look in to it. That said, job_conf.xml is the way forward, and a job_conf.xml for the drmaa runner would be a pretty trivial change from the one you have for the pbs runner, e.g.:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<job_conf>
    <plugins>
        <plugin id="pbs" type="runner" load="galaxy.jobs.runners.drmaa:DRMAAJobRunner"/>
    </plugins>
    <handlers>
        <handler id="dirigo"/>
    </handlers>
    <destinations default="pbs_default">
        <destination id="pbs_default" runner="pbs"/>
                <param id="nativeSpecification">-l walltime=72:00:00,nodes=1:ppn=4</param>
        </destination>
    </destinations>
</job_conf>

Just make sure you set $DRMAA_LIBRARY_PATH in your environment to the correct libdrmaa.so.

Hello Nate,

I have that version installed and was using it in the older versions of galaxy for a few years.  Once I loaded this new version, it no longer worked with the old
definitions in the universe file using: default_cluster_job_runner = drmaa:///   

Do I need a job_conf.xml that uses the drmaa runner?

Hi Pete,

The latest error is pretty strange and not one I've encountered before. It suggests that scramble is not loading setuptools in place of distutils and thus does not have access to the setuptools extensions (notably, egg-related functionality). Something abnormal still seems to be going on with your python environment.

You can use drmaa if you like (this is known to work well). You will want to use the libdrmaa for Torque that's maintained by the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center, rather than the libdrmaa that can be built directly with the Torque source. PSNC libdrmaa for Torque/PBS can be found here: http://apps.man.poznan.pl/trac/pbs-drmaa

Is there any other alternatives to pbs_python for interfacing to a torque scheduler.   This method appears to be a dead end.

Pete,

Is it possible that `python` as the Galaxy user is calling a python other than /opt/python/2.7.6/bin/python (e.g. the system version without the -dev/-devel package installed)?  The safest bet for ensuring you're using the right python and that it's not going to have conflicting modules, I'd suggest using a Python virtualenv. This is easy to set up, just make sure you run it with the correct python executable, for example:

% wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.11.4.tar.gz
% tar zxf virtualenv-1.11.4.tar.gz
% /opt/python/2.7.6/bin/python ./virtualenv-1.11.4/virtualenv.py galaxyvenv
% . ./galaxyvenv/bin/activate
% cd galaxy-dist
% python ./scripts/fetch_eggs.py
% LIBTORQUE_DIR=/opt/torque/active/lib python scripts/scramble.py -e pbs_python

I uninstalled pbs_python 4.4.0 and reinstalled 4.3.5 as root (not using scramble)

When I try this method as the galaxy user:
LIBTORQUE_DIR=/opt/torque/active/lib python scripts/scramble.py -e pbs_python

I get the following output:

src/pbs_wrap.c:2813: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython2.7

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/python/2.7.6/lib:/opt/torque/active/lib:/usr/local/lib"

I'm not sure why it can't find the libpython2.7.so file.   When I built it as root there is a -L/opt/python/2.7.6/lib in that gcc line.

Hi Pete,

Your subject says you are unable to build pbs_python using scramble.
Could you provide details on what's not working there?

Galaxy is not going to work with a different version of pbs_python
unless a bit of hacking is done to make it attempt to do so. We test
Galaxy with specific versions of its dependencies, which is why we
control the versions of those dependencies and provide the scramble
script to (hopefully) make it painless to build them yourself, should
it be necessary to do so, as is always the case with pbs_python.

I'm trying to get pbs_python to work as I'm using torque for scheduling
galaxy jobs.

Note: This is a fresh install of galaxy from galaxy-dist on CentOS 5.10

I have pbs_python 4.4.0 module installed into a source-built version of
python/2.7.6

I get the following error in the output of run.sh:

Additional errors may follow:
pbs-python==4.3.5

This is the job_conf.xml file:

    </destinations>
</job_conf>

I did not use the scramble system to install the pbs_python module.  I
downloaded the latest version
available and installed it from the root account.
