[openib-general] Compilation issues on rhel4 u3 ppc64 sysfs.o

[Scott Weitzenkamp (sweitzen)]

No clue, I know if you grab OFED 1.0 rc4 tarball and run install.sh, it
should work.

		Hi All,
		     I just started working with openIB in the past
week. I am having an issue getting the kernel modules to compile with
the stock rhel4 u3 kernel. I have applied the patches found at
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/backport/2.6.9_U3/ and followed the
instructions from
https://openib.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Installation+Cheat+Sheet but
I have been getting the following error:
		
		LD

		make: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-34.EL-ppc64'
		
		Any help would be appreciated. As noted this is on a
ppc64 machine. The rhel4 u3 install does *NOT* configure openIB by
default like it does on intel architectures. I was wondering if openIB
has been tested at all on ppc64 and if this was even possible at this
point. 
		
		Regards.
		Paul
