RE: inital torque setup - jobs are dieing right away

On the clients I typed

# make install_mom install_clients

Is this the nonstandard way to do it?  I didn't compile the packages or
the configure script on the nodes as they don't have compilers or
development tools installed.

I agree, when I had that problem it was only to do with the 
mom_priv/config file being wrong.

If this is a new install I would, remove the /var/spool/torque directory

(or move it out of the way) on all nodes and run through the

./configure
make
sudo make packages

Then on the head node install the clients, doc and server packages
and optionally the mom (if head node will also compute) and gui package.

On the compute nodes just install the pbs_mom package and optionally the

clients package and start with

$pbsserver server_name
$usecp *:/ /

in the mom_priv/config file.  If it doesn't work after that, something 
else is wrong and further troubleshooting would be needed.  This would 
get you to somewhat of a "known good" configuration for everyone to work

from, since now everyone knows exactly how it is configured.
