[ewg] Is this the right place for questions on OFED?

2010-01-11 Thread Ross Smith
I'm trying to install OFED on Ubuntu 9.10 without much success. OFED 1.5 is failing with an error: "rpm: please use alien to install rpm packages on Debian, if you are really sure use --force-debian switch. See README.Debian for more details." Is there any way to get this to install on Ubuntu?

Actually, I was just trying to run opensm on it. I couldn't find any downloads for that, but I knew it was included in OFED. I already have IPoIB working fine in Ubuntu. On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 5:04 PM, Roland Dreier wrote: > >  > I'm trying to install OFED on Ubuntu 9.10 without much success

Hi Tziporet, Yes, I'd tried with --without-depcheck option but to no avail. However, it looks like I don't need OFED, and I've today found the opensm packages on the openfabrics.org website, and have downloaded: libibumad-1.3.4.tar.gz libibmad-1.3.4.tar.gz opensm-3.3.5.tar.gz infiniband-diags-1.5

Sorry, I'm very much a linux newbie. Could you explain what I need to do to add that to ld.so.conf. It has just one line at the moment, do I just need to add another that says "include /usr/local/lib"? And then do I just run ldconfig? Will I need to recompile the programs, or should opensm just
