Hi everyone,
I am trying to install slurm-roll to a fresh installation of Rocks 7.0 in my cluster (for the 3rd time).
Everything goes smoothly up to the point I try to run # rocks run roll slurm|sh

The error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/rocks/bin/rocks", line 260, in <module>
command.runWrapper(name, args[i:])
File "/opt/rocks/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rocks/commands/init.py", line 1942, in runWrapper

Is something wrong with my installation ? I already reinstall rocks 7.0 once and I even try to include slurm-roll in the installation through a roll-server but it fails to find the slurm packages.

Below the messages from the whole procedure are presented:
