OPENIB<BR><B>Subject:</B> [ofa-general] OFED install
issues<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi All,<BR>There was a long discussion regarding the OFED
installation process.<BR>There were several issues raised: <BR>1. Prefix and
the distro default:<BR>My suggestion is that we will change the default of the
install according to the distro that is used.<BR>
<OL>
<LI>For Redhat the default will be /usr
<LI>For SLES I don't know what should be the default - Moiz can you send me
a contact person that will educate us on SLES preferred prefix.
<LI>Debian - Roland do you know what should be the default </LI></OL>In case
someone wish to stay with another prefix (or change it back to
/usr/local/ofed) it can be easily done during installation:<BR>
<UL>
<LI>In an interactive installation there is a specific question:
<SMALL><FONT face="Courier New">"Please enter the OFED installation
directory [/usr/local/ofed]: "</FONT></SMALL>
<LI>In a non-attended installation only need to change this line in the conf
file: <SMALL><FONT
face="Courier New">STACK_PREFIX=/usr/local/ofed</FONT></SMALL><BR></LI></UL>Please
reply if this is OK and we will do this change this week. In this way we will
have enough time to test it before RC1. (Note that in Mellanox we always test
both /usr/local/ofed and /usr/local prefixes) <BR><BR>2. SPEC files -
<BR>Change this now is too risky for 1.2 - I suggest we do it immediately
after OFED 1.2 so we have enough time to stabilize this change.<BR>In any case
we may want to have a teleconference to define what we want. <BR>Also if
anyone want to "raise the glove" - change and test the build & install
scripts and send patches it will be
great<BR><BR>Tziporet<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
