The official RedHat 7.3 globus-accessgrid-2.0 RPM used to echo some info to
stdout in the post install step. As the Fedora Project Developer's Guide
recommends not to output anything to stdout in that step (e.g. you might be
using a GUI RPM installer that never sees stdout),  I output the details to
the following file:

  /usr/share/doc/globus-accessgrid-2.0/README

Extract from the file:
--
You need to run the following commands in this order after the
installation of the globus-accessgrid-2.0 package has been completed.
Accept the default values.

. /etc/profile.d/gpt.sh
. /etc/profile.d/globus.sh
${GPT_LOCATION}/sbin/gpt_verify
${GPT_LOCATION}/sbin/gpt-postinstall
/usr/lib/globus/setup/globus/setup-gsi
/usr/lib/globus/setup/globus_simple_ca_45cc9e80_setup/setup-gsi -default
--

I don't think I ran any of the above commands on a clean Fedora Core 1
install I'm using, although I did copy ~ag/.AccessGrid from a previous
RedHat 9.0 install where I did. So I'm not sure if the above commands are
redundant or not, or if it will fix your problems.

Cheers,
Doug
