[ewg] Re: [ofa-general] Build error with build_32bit=1

[Woodruff, Robert J]

I just installed rc6 on my systems and it worked just fine for
both 32 and 64 bit, so I expect that he has a system that does
not have the 32 bit libraries installed.

The default value of build_32bit is 1 (on ppc64 and x86_64) in case that

glibc-devel-32bit is installed, otherwise 0.
It can be changed from environment by:
export build_32bit=0
./install.sh
...

In Mellanox most of the servers are installed with glibc-devel-32bit.
So, we test both.

In any case the issue that Mahmoud have caused by non-standard value of 
the environment variable sysconfdir (/usr/etc instead of /etc) and not 
by build_32bit.
