Hi,

i am trying to install OFED-1.4.1-20090325-0600 on a powerpc system with
RHEL5.3, including the rnfs-utils package. The build process fails with the
following message:

checking for powerpc-redhat-linux-gnu-ld... /usr/bin/ld
checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes
checking for GNU libc2... yes
checking for BSD signal semantics... no
checking for gethostbyname... yes
checking for connect... yes
checking for getaddrinfo... yes
checking for getrpcbynumber... yes
checking for getservbyname... yes
checking for crypt in -lcrypt... yes
checking for blkid_get_library_version in -lblkid... no
configure: error: libblkid needed
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5516 (%build)

I have e2fsprogs-devel-1.39-20.el5.ppc64.rpm installed on the system. When
I install e2fsprogs-devel-1.39-20.el5.ppc.rpm in addition, the build process
works fine. Can this be fixed in the rnfs-utils package so that the 64bit
version of e2fsprogs-devel is used or do we need an additional dependency to
the 32bit version in the OFED install script?

Appreciate your comments,

Alex
