Comment 26 for bug 1287624

I have been trying to run mathematical software and write some mathematical
programs myself, and I was also trying to set up a LAMP server to host my
own website. I am wondering if the other software I installed on this
system required or may require those programs to function, and hence I have
been getting those messages because other programs required munge, slurm
and sview to be installed? Do you know of a list of dependencies?
