rhel6 ofed v1.5.3

rhel6 ofed v1.5.3

[Michael Di Domenico]

According to my installation of Ofed 1.5.3 on RHEL6, the
infiniband-diags package rpm is trying to chown /usr/local in order to
deposit a library in lib64.

In my environment /usr/local is off-limits to root and all package
installs.  Is this a bug?  Is there a workaround to allow the
install.pl to complete?

infiniband-diags does not do a chown.

I just tried this on a vanilla Fedora 15 system and was able to build the source rpms just fine.

Try building and installing in this order.

libibumad-1.3.7-1.src.rpm
libibmad-1.3.7-1.src.rpm
opensm-3.3.9-1.src.rpm
infiniband-diags-1.5.8-1.src.rpm

Sorry for the late reply, your reply got lost in my email bins...

I should correct my statement, when RPM does the cpio extraction of
the data that's what's reporting the error

these all build correctly using the install.pl file upto the
infiniband-diags file then i get

error: unpacking archive file on file /usr/local: cpio: Operation not supported

the file that seems to get included in the rpm is

/usr/local/lib64/perl5/IBswcountlimits.pm

i can't seem to locate where that's coming from though

Looks like the spec file pulls the "installsitearch" from the perl
config.  on redhat 5 there doesn't seem to be an installsitearch
variable defined in the perl -V output, but on redhat 6 there is a
-Dinstallsitearch=/usr/local/lib64

this is a redhat 6'ism, i did a fresh install of rhel6.0 to test
whether it was something i messed up in the perl or not, but it wasn't
me.

i can likely work around the issue in the short term by recompiling
the spec file by hand

You're right...  :-(  Sorry about that.

I spoke to some people here and our RedHat consultant.  I think this module should be installed in vendorlib.  Would you agree?

Yes (/usr/share modifications), would not affect our systems.  I can't
speak for everyone though.
