Hi, Fred.
It's like this on modern Linux, too. This is standard practice at a lot of the larger computing sites. You do the usual untar, configure, make install steps, while setting the configure --prefix to equal a dedicated directory, like /opt/some-app-1.2.3. Then you end up with everything installed under its own top level directory. This app directory is then rsync'd to other nodes, or /opt is NFS mounted on all nodes. The trick is setting the environment for binaries and libraries, by prepending to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This can be done with profile.d scripts or loadable environment-modules.
