On a fresh install of Rocks 7 with kernel, base, core, CentOs, Updates-CentOS (+ sge, hpc, and ganglia):
make 2>&1 to build a roll in the /root/ directory returns /opt/rocks/share/devel/src/roll/../../etc/Rules.mk:622: *** first argument to 'word' function must be greater than 0. Stop.
The offending line in the Rules.mk is part of the last one in this set
Is this rule necessary? Can it be conditioned such that if make is initiated in a folder without a grandparent or even in a directory where '/' itself is a grandparent (that is, any directory not nested twice from '/') , that it does not break the build?
This issue persists from Rocks 6 (except the line was 621 instead of 622 here). See this archived email chain. Credit to @rpwagner for the workaround
The workaround is to just always build in a directory two down from '/', but this fix is not obvious to a novice and the error can draw issues in other repos rather than here.
