[openib-general] Problem following trunk/userspace/management/README

[Roel van der Goot]

Hi all,

I am trying to get openib installed.
This is what I have done sofar:

  - installed Fedora Core 4
  - downloaded sources for linux-2.6.13
  - svn co https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk
  - replace linux-2.6.13/drivers/infiniband with
    trunk/src/linux-kernel/infiniband
  - compiled and installed this new kernel

Now I am trying to follow the instructions in
trunk/userspace/management/README:

[root at topcom-63 libibcommon]# ./autogen.sh
+ aclocal -I config
Can't locate object method "path" via package "Request" at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 69, <GEN1> line 111.
aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
+ libtoolize --force --copy
You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `config'.
+ autoheader
Can't locate object method "path" via package "Request" at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 69, <GEN1> line 111.
autoheader: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1
+ automake --foreign --add-missing --copy

[root at topcom-63 libibcommon]#

I googled for this problem on the openib-general list and it
appears to have been reported in June 2004, however this month
just got removed from the openib-general archives.

I have no problem running autogen.sh in the same directory on an
older kernel (2.4.20-8), but expect that to cause problems later.

Anybody know how I can take this hurdle?

Thank you,
Roel.
