[ofa-general] clueless noob and build probs with 1.2rc2

[Rick Jones]

So, to get started with SDP and perhaps RDS tests for netperf I 
installed RHEL5 on a pair of HP rx2660s - Itanium systems - with some 
dual-port 4x fabric adaptors installed.  I grabbed 1.2rc2 bits, managed 
to get the pre-reqs (ostensibly) onto the system, and blythly typed-in 
./install.sh.

I took the defaults for everything but multi-thread support (I said 'y') 
and it churned away for a while and got grumpy with me.  I have the 
build log (not attached just yet, 6K lines long) and noticed a few things:

warning: user vlad does not exist - using root
warning: group vlad does not exist - using root
warning: user vlad does not exist - using root
warning: group vlad does not exist - using root

it then churned for a while and gave me:

Is this simply a case of:

Patient: Doctor! Doctor! It hurts when I do this!
Doctor: Then don't do that!

and I should decline one of the options in ./install.sh, or have I 
stumbled over a meaningful problem?
