[BioBrew Users] Have to install RPMs?

[Glen Otero]

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.
