[distcc] Can't get more jobs then 4?

[Joshua Baldock]

Thanks guys for this information.

I have now got this working correctly.

Just to answer your other question Fergus, im using version 2.18.3, I know there are later version 3.0+, but I have been unable to locate a x64 rpm of 3.0 for redhat, and as this will be being deployed in to our production environment, I would like to not have to comile on every machine. So 2.18 is the latest version I can find in rpm that is x64.

Cheers,
Josh

Which version of distcc are you using?  It's worth using an up-to-date version (>= 3.0).

I have come across something, that I need some guidence on. When compiling code I am using the -j10 option. If I am correct, this should be sending 10 parrallel jobs to my distcc servers. However when using the distccmon-text, I see the following...

When you specify a host usually either in the $DISTCC_HOSTS env variable or the ~/.distcc/hosts file (basically wherever you specified the name of your server), you can specify a decimal limit that will restrict the number of jobs that the client will send to the server.  If you don't specify a value it will default to 4.

ibaker is right.

Specifically, for each host in your DISTCC_HOSTS environment variable, you should insert a "/" and then the job limit, immediately after the host name or IP address.  For example, if your DISTCC_HOSTS was set to "10.0.0.1<http://10.0.0.1>,cpp,lzo", you should change it to "10.0.0.1/10,cpp,lzo<http://10.0.0.1/10,cpp,lzo>".
