[ewg] Is this the right place for questions on OFED?

[Ross Smith]

Sorry, I'm very much a linux newbie.  Could you explain what I need to
do to add that to ld.so.conf.  It has just one line at the moment, do
I just need to add another that says "include /usr/local/lib"?

And then do I just run ldconfig?  Will I need to recompile the
programs, or should opensm just run then?

thanks,

Ross
