Hi Peter, I am not sure what the problem with CAVE installation is. The package that you installed is NWS AWIPS II and not Unidata AWIPS II, so I can not be much help with it. I can make a guess that the "Missing requirement: Cots Feature" may be an issue with rpmbuild, that is, how the RPMs were built for this release. COTS in AWIPS II meaning Commercial-Off-The-Shelf software components... something that should be a pre-req for CAVE is not being found correctly. Sorry I can't be of more help, my experience is limited to the Unidata AWIPS II system.
