[openfabrics-ewg] db-devel requirement?

[Vladimir Sokolovsky]

Jeff,
You can install RHEL4U2 and select different packages to be installed 
(minimal installation does not includes development tools and kernel 
sources).
Some of the OFED packages have dependencies which are not a part of 
OFED, e.g. ibutils depend on tcl-devel, kernel-ib depend on kernel 
sources, open-iscsi depend on db-devel...
One of the purposes of the OFED installation script is to check these 
dependencies and provide corresponding message before running into the 
compilation process and getting failure.

Regards,
Vladimir
