This is confusing, you say you have Redhat WE 3.0 and the lines below 
show that you have Linux on your grid master, simultaneously you say 
that you have Solaris on the master node. It is very unlikely that it 
will work to mix operating systems.
The easiest way is to install gromacs on the master node and use NFS to 
ount a disk on the client nodes. You can even do it in your home 
directory, provided it is called the same everywhere. Then the 
instructions on the gromacs site should be sufficient to install.

If however the master runs solaris and the clients/nodes run Linux then 
you should compile everything on one of the nodes.
