The OpenMPI package that ships with CentOS 5.1 does not seem to be compiled with torque support. It does, however, seem to be compiled with gridengine and slurm support. Would it be possible to get this changed?

Unfortunately we compile with exactly the same options as upstream to be compatible ... so the only way to get it in base centos that way is to convince the upstream people to add it.

How do others deal with this issue. It seems that you can't file a bug report with upstream unless you have a support contract? Am I missing something.

While I don't use OpenMPI, I do compile quite a few source rpms and distribute them to my systems. It probably wouldn't be hard to build rpms from the SRPMS with the option your looking for. Probably would want to adjust the version so it's high enough that yum will never replace it. In Debian you can put a package on 'hold' so it won't get updated, I haven't found an equivalent in RPM/yum.
Probably not worth filing a bug with Red Hat, they won't do anything with it likely until RHEL 6. By then they may decide to include it anyways(not knowing what OpenMPI or Torque support is off the top of my head I don't know how likely this would be).

I am working on this now, however, it was just "odd" that SLURM and SGE support was compiled but not Torque. Neither SGE nor SLURM are available as part of base or updates, so I wondered why they were included and not Torque.
BTW: OpenMPI is a library used for writing parallel programs using the quite popular Message Passing Interface (MPI). Torque is used for batch scheduling said MPI jobs, or any job for that matter.

You can *file* them, just don't expect a timely resolution unless you have a contract with RH (and sometimes not even then).

Hi, I'm the torque maintainer.
Before the Fedora core+extras merge, torque was in extras and openmpi was in core; making torque support in openmpi impossible.
Now, Fedora 8 and newer have openmpi built with torque support.
I assume RHEL6 will inherit this.
