When attempting to build ibdm per instructions in INSTALL, I get the following error: make install cp .libs/libibdm.so.1.1.1 /usr/local/lib/ibadm/ibdm1.0/libibdm.so.1.0 cp: cannot stat `.libs/libibdm.so.1.1.1': No such file or directory -- Hal _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
