That or using a very clunky wrapper script around rpm itself to lie to the configure script. I actually have got this second approach working so there is nothing wrong with building against the doca packages, but its a bit annoying to automate the build process for our servers like this. I've not got access to create a Jira ticket myself either.

I hadn't spotted LU-18002 (thanks), but unfortunately it isn't enough to accommodate the move to dkms on rhel. I don't know how far you've got since Monday, but there now seems a need for an explicit check of /usr/src/ofa_kernel (as it's no longer owned by a package) and the "find" for rdma_cm.h needs the -L flag to make sense of the new maze of twisty passages. I think that a new jira ticket needs to be opened...
