I am trying to install torque to my clients, but the
torque-package-clients-linux-x86_64.sh script keeps on dieing. I am
installing on RHEL5 nodes.
[root@prodnode3 torque-2.1.8]# ./torque-package-clients-linux-

Done.

From the best I could find by searching the Internet, it seems the
possible problem is that the script is trying to use some kind of
deprecated option for tail hence the "+157" error. Hopefully someone
else has seen this problem and knows the workaround.
Bleh. Now we have multiple incompatible 'tail' options on different
platforms.
Edit buildutils/self-extract-head-sh.in, and replace the 4
instances of
'tail +$SKIP' with 'tail -n +$SKIP', re-run configure and make.
I'll figure out another way to do this.

I encountered this recently in another context.
You can set the environment variable _POSIX2_VERSION=1 to force the
old syntax for tail.
This might be helpful in your script.
