I already installed OpenPBS previously. I wanted try to configure with different command this time and install it.

command :

```auto
./configure --prefix=/opt/pbs --enable-alps 

```

and I get this error :

 ![pbs1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/pbspro/original/1X/b588bf3238f088e2383902c5ce015c0bc861298a.jpeg)

I followed [this article](https://medium.com/@anarmammadli/how-to-install-openpbs-20-0-1-on-ubuntu-b1cc62cfb0ec) previously and it works but with different configuration it shows this error. I want to configure OpenPBS on node(client) and looks like i have to user this command so i tried it. Thanks in advance ^^

`jid_t` comes from `/usr/include/job.h`, which should be on any Cray ALPS machine. If you’re not on one of these machines, remove `--enable-alps` from your configure options and rebuild.
