The toolkit includes software services and libraries for resource monitoring, discovery, and management, plus security and file management. In addition to being a central part of science and engineering projects that total nearly a half-billion dollars internationally, the Globus Toolkit is a substrate on which leading IT companies are building significant commercial Grid products. The toolkit includes software for security, information infrastructure, resource management, data management, communication, fault detection, and portability. It is packaged as a set of components that can be used either independently or together to develop applications. Every organization has unique modes of operation, and collaboration between multiple organizations is hindered by incompatibility of resources such as data archives, computers, and networks. The Globus Toolkit was conceived to remove obstacles that prevent seamless collaboration. Its core services, interfaces and protocols allow users to access remote resources as if they were located within their own machine room while simultaneously preserving local control over who can use resources and when. Website: http://www.globus.org Requirements: Java SDK 1.4.2 Apache Ant 1.5.4 Sudo (can be downloaded from http://sunfreeware.com) PostgreSQL (Optional) Additional INFO: This package contains the full Globus Toolkit version 4.0.2 for Solaris 10 x86. It is compiled using GCC as 32 bits and the binaries should work for Solaris x64 (running in 64bits mode). Note that not all the components are fully tested and guaranteed to work. Configure and Compile Options: Compiler: GNU Compiler (GCC) version 3.4.3 ./configure --prefix=/home/globus --with-flavor=gcc32 Installation: Extract the archive to the /opt/gt4.0.2 directory, which is the recommanded directory to install the toolkit. It is also recommanded that the directory be owned by a dedicated Globus admin account. Once the files are extracted, login using the Globus admin account and execute /home/globus/sbin/gpt-postinstall to start the preliminary configuration. To configure the individual components and services, please see http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/admin/docbook/index.html
