Hello Vladimir, I have downloaded the OFED-3.2 build available in: http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-3.2-daily/ I tried to Build using the ./install.pl script to install the 2) Install OFED Software and 3) All packages (all of Basic, HPC).
:~/ofed # tar -zxvf OFED-3.2-20120323-1506.tgz :~/ofed/OFED-3.2-20120323-1506 # ls BUILD_ID LICENSE README.txt RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS docs install.pl uninstall.sh make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27-obj/ppc64/ppc64' make -C ../../../linux-3.0.13-0.27 O=/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27-obj/ppc64/ppc64/. modules make -C /usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27-obj/ppc64/ppc64 \ KBUILD_SRC=/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27 \ KBUILD_EXTMOD="/var/tmp/OFED_topdir/BUILD/compat-rdma-3.2" -f /usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27/Makefile \ modules /usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27/Makefile:588: /usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27/arch/ppc64/Makefile: No such file or directory make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27/arch/ppc64/Makefile'.

Will the above mentioned work around be adopted in the ./install.pl script of creating the ppc64 directory for SLES11SP2 distro so that the build issues are resolved with the future OFED-3.2 tar files. Should we open a bug in openfabrics bugzilla to keep track of this issue of building on PPC64 platform. Thanks and Regards, Pavaman.S
