Setting Up Your Environment

Keep the following in mind when setting up the environment:

„The kernel-devel(for Red Hat and Red Hat-derived kernels) RPM or kernel-source(for SLES) RPM for your distribution/kernel must be installed.

„The runtime and build environments must be the same. Compatibility between executables built on different Linux distributions cannot be guaranteed.

„Install sysfsutils for your distribution before installing the OpenFabrics RPMs, as there are dependencies. Check your distribution’s documentation for information about sysfsutils. This package is called udev on SLES 10.
