[ewg] OFED installation on RH5 UP2

[Olga Shern]

Hi Vlad,

I test this with OFED 1.4 build and it works.
I saw that you forgot to add test whether rpm-build package is
installed.
Can you please add it.

Thanks Vlad,

It seems indeed better solution, I will test it and let you know.

Hi Olga,
I used a different patch instead because the check for redhat-rpm-config
existence is relevant for all debuginfo RPMs. Please see if this is OK.

Regarding lam MPI, I think, we should check if it was registered with
mpi-selector and re-register it after updating mpi-selector.

Thanks,
Vladimir
