Hi Frank,
install.sh checks if there are binary RPMS for all selected packages under OFED-x.x.x/RPMS directory.
If you have created binary RPMs on one of the nodes (by install.sh script), then make sure that the OFED-x.x.x/ofed.conf file includes only these packages.
Then run on all cluster nodes (no kernel sources, compilers, ... required on these nodes):
 > ./install.sh -c ofed.conf -net ofed_net.conf

Note: If there are no RPMs for one or more of the packages selected (package_name=y)in the ofed.conf file then install.sh will run the RPM build process.

Regards,
Vladimir
