INSTALLATION:

export DRQUEUE_ROOT=/usr/nekoware/drqueue
export DRQUEUE_MASTER=computer

ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS:

All compilerflags have to be placed into the Makefiles first!

1. Apply the patch
2. Adjust the pathes to the config files  in master.h, slave.h and drqman/main.c
3. Rename your /sbin/uname and place a shell script there which returns 'IRIX'. This step is only needed when you compiling drqueue on a machine where uname -s return 'IRIX64'. All the source files check only for the term 'IRIX' which doest match on modern SGI machines.

#!/bin/sh

echo "IRIX";

4. INSTUID and INSTGID where set to root:sys after applying the patch. For secrurity this isnt a good choice so there is a exitop script which creates a drqueue user and group if doesnt exists and change the owner of the files.
5. Create symlinks from every configuration file foo.IRIX to foo.IRIX64 to be sure that it runs on both versions
  From the bin directory 'for i in `ls *.IRIX`;do ln -s $i "$i"64;done;'
6. Correct the perl locations in all +.pl files to /usr/nekoware/bin/perl
7. Corrent the pathes in the 3 *.conf files
