Hi Bruce: Not sure what that error message is, but you can try what Michael suggested. I suppose those compilers are in .bin format or something? Basically you can chroot to the image's environment and manipulate the files as if you are on the actual node (well quite a few system files are missing, but it should be sufficient for installing most programs). So just make sure you copy the binary file to your image's /tmp directory first (/var/lib/systemimager/images/<imagename>/tmp) and then do a chroot:
chroot /var/lib/systemimager/images/<imagename> Then you can install the program off the /tmp directory. REMEMBER to exit from the chroot'ed environment after you're done, otherwise you would easily forget where you are! :) Good luck.
