Boris,

I downloaded mft tar file and attempted to install it  when I saw the 
following errors:


/home/tools/mft-1.0.1 # ./install.sh

  *** Mellanox Firmware Tools (MFT) Package Installation ***
      MFT Build 20060118-1817

  Found a previous installation of the MFT package.
  Current installed MFT Build ID is 20060118-1817
  This installation MFT Build ID is 20060118-1817

  Remove currently installed components (run 
/usr/mellanox/mft/uninstall.sh) ?  :(y/n) [n] y
  Running /usr/mellanox/mft/uninstall.sh ...
  Uninstall completed successfully.


  This installation installs the MFT components into /usr
  Installing MST package under /usr/mst ...
MFT Depends on pre-installed MST. Fail to find /usr/mst/lib/libmtcr.a

Nowhere could I find the libmtcr.a? 

So, the missing library is stopping me from getting to the next step.
