Paul- Sorry for the hassle. This latest roll I built has been a disaster. I tried some shortcuts by trying to use 'rocks-dist' and things haven't worked out. I'm going to rebuild the roll soon. In the meantime, you have to install the rpms on the frontend manually using rpm -i -- force --nodeps. To install the roll on the compute nodes, I would install them manually there as well. But you might also try: # cd /home/install # mount -o loop <BioBrew roll ISO> /mnt/cdrom # rocks-dist --install copyroll # rocks-dist dist then reinstall a compute node.
