udapl-devel-1.2-0.4265.2.EL4.i386 has to be manually uninstalled.<br>
When I tried installing the rc3 package through the menu the existing packages
uninstall fails with the following error<br>
-------<br>
error: Failed dependencies:<br>
udapl = 1.2-0.4265.2.EL4 is needed
by (installed) udapl-devel-1.2-0.4265.2.EL4.i386<br>
ERROR: Failed executing "/bin/rpm -e libibverbs libibverbs-devel

------<br>
Work-around:- After manually uninstalling the udapl-devel-1.2-0.4265.2.EL4.i386
package the installation succeeds.<br>
The uninstall script needs to be modified in a way that it uninstalls the
udapl-devel-1.2-0.4265.2.EL4.i386? package.</span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>3) The README.txt is
outdated e.g. vstat and ipoib_ping.pl<br>
The README.txt in the top level of the source directory seems to be
out-dated.e.g.<br>
a) vstat<br>
The readme refers to vstat and the outputs printed by it. I think the vstat has
been replaced by ibstat which has a slightly different outputs. e.g. vstat
prints "1 HCA found:"whereas ibstat prints "CA 'mthca0'"<br>
b) ipoib_ping.pl<br>
This script doesn't seem to be there in rc3 or maybe it has been renamed to
something else which I haven't been able to locate.<br>
c)miscellaneous<br>
There are other instances which need to be weeded out e.g. /etc/init.d/ibadmd,
/etc/ibadm.topo, etc.</span></font></p>
