I hadn't considered the Mac case, so I'll pick up the checks you added to 
configure.in before I send you anything. I may be able to get this code 
sent this week.

Re: [ptp-dev] Changes to PE Proxy configure.in






Hi Dave,

In the case of ORTE and LL (and MPICH2, LSF, etc.), there are headers/ 
libraries that must be present for the proxy to be built, so the 
proxies are not built or installed on systems that do not support 
them. PE would be the exception to this.

I guess I'd prefer to have a consistent policy for this, not have some 
RM's installed and others not installed. Do you see a benefit in 
having the proxy built on a machine that doesn't have PE installed?

If PE is going to be built on all platforms, then there are three 
cases that need to be addressed:

1. The poe commend is installed in a non-standard location. Not sure 
if this is possible, but the proxy should still work if this is the 
case.

2. PE is not installed. If the proxy is built, then it should at least 
provide some indication that commands can't be submitted (e.g. the 
default queue should be in the STOPPED state).

3. Supports all PTP platforms. This is why I added the check in the 
first place, as the proxy does not build on Mac OS X.
