G'day Aaron,
I believe you use an RPM based distribution of Linux. Can
you tell me whether you need to have the XFree86-dev RPM installed to
get poplog to build ?
I know that on Debian I need the xlib-dev package. If you
do it is possible that the slave nodes of your cluster don't have the
development libraries and headers installed. Just a thought.
All the best,
John Duncan
