Hi Vlad,

I have been trying to install the latest OFED-4.17 build (OFED-4.17-20180919-0806.tgz)
in SLES 12SP3/15. It looks like the libibverbs package does not install the required
.so files to enable perftest to build. Here is the error from the perftest log:

checking for x86_64-suse-linux-gnu-ranlib... ranlib
checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes
checking infiniband/verbs.h usability... yes
checking infiniband/verbs.h presence... yes
checking for infiniband/verbs.h... yes
checking for ibv_get_device_list in -libverbs... no
configure: error: libibverbs not found

$> rpm -ql libibverbs | grep -i libibverbs.so # returns blank

However, on a RHEL system here is what I get:

$> rpm -ql libibverbs | grep -i libibverbs.so
/usr/lib64/libibverbs.so.1
/usr/lib64/libibverbs.so.1.1.17.1

Is there some packaging difference between RHEL/SLES for libibverbs? If so, how do I
get perftest to build? Any specific info you need from me?

Thanks,
Adit

P.S. Here is the ofed.conf:
compat-rdma=y
core=y
vmw_pvrdma=y
