Hi all,

Taking a look at the RHEL6 beta at the moment. It was failing compilation of OFED 1.5.1 release on the main ofa kernel rpm, giving the same error reported by Jeremy Enos back in Aug 2009 on Fedora 10.

Thankfully the problem turned out to be a bug in the scripting in the rpm's spec file, easily fixed, which let's this now compile fine:

The "mkdir -p" is the important part that needed adding, and should be safe to add on all the platforms.

Near the end however, it needed the removal of two directories not built on RHEL 6. Not sure if they do get built on other platforms though. Vladimir Sokolovsky would probably know. :)

Hope that helps.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
