Hi all-

Apologies for the cross-post, but this is an issue regarding BigJob on
the SAGA deployments page.

Note that the for the FutureGrid deployments webpages (eg:
https://svn.cct.lsu.edu/repos/saga-projects/deployment/tg-csa/doc/README.saga-1.6.gcc-4.1.2.hotel),
BigJob is listed as living in
"BigJob is installed in
/gpfs/software/x86_64/el5/hotel/SAGA/saga/1.6/gcc-4.1.2//lib/python2.7.1/site-packages//bigjob
."

This will path is wrong... and will not actually allow the user to
import bigjob from the CSA installation. Additionally, it has caused
me a significant amount of grief lately.

BigJob is installed at:
/gpfs/software/x86_64/el5/hotel/SAGA/saga/1.6/gcc-4.1.2//lib/python2.7.1/site-packages/saga/bigjob
 on hotel.

On sierra, /N/soft/SAGA/saga/1.6/gcc-4.1.2//lib/python2.7.1/site-packages/saga/bigjob

Note that the crucial missing piece of the puzzle is that it must say
"...site-packages/saga/bigjob" instead of "...site-packages//bigjob".

Please note that this issue persists for CSA deployment documentation
on sierra, alamo, hotel, and india.

Once you correct the PYTHONPATH to use the bigjob path that I
provided, users can import bigjob without any issues. Andre/Ole, can
you update the website?

Thanks,
-Melissa
