To save other's time -
Please add to the OFED_Instalation_Guide.txt
That for compile and install of the open-iscsi rpm on PPC64 SLES 10 SP 1
, bison and yylex are required.
Also,
OFED-1.2 install.sh checked for the availability of the requiered
packages before the start of compile and install.
Will this ability be added to OFED-1.3 ?
