[ofa-general] Problems with building OFED 1.1. on SuSE SLES10

[Suresh Shelvapille]

This is the same type of issue that I am battling with RHEL5 (while installing 
OFED1.2 though).
 
When the error says  “configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables”,  all it means is
it failed to compile the test program (conftest.c or something like that).
 
Please go into config.log and look for the error. It will tell you what options it was
using to compile the test program. In all probability if you write a small test program and
try to compile with the same options as in the config.log it will fail.
 
By rule of elimination you can figure out which option is giving you problem and once you do that someone in the list
might be able to help you.
 
In my case it was the –m32 option which caused grief and I had to install the 32bit gcc-devel
to get around the issue.
 
Sorry for the long answer, and hopefully your issues is simpler

 
Thanks,
Suri

Subject: [ofa-general] Problems with building OFED 1.1. on SuSE SLES10 
 
Hello, 
I have some problems swith building the OFED 1.1 software on an opteron system with sles 10: 
 
uname –a output:  Linux mserv0001 2.6.16.27-0.9-smp_lustre #2 SMP Fri Apr 27 11:49:24 CEST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux
 
when I ran the install.sh script with the input 2 and then 3 some minutes later I get the following output:
 
ERROR: Failed executing "rpmbuild --rebuild --define '_topdir /var/tmp/OFEDRPM' --define '_prefix /usr/local/ofed'

See log file: /tmp/OFED.419.log
 
The Log file shows:

When I go into the directory and the configure line typed in, no errors occurred and I can give the make command. 
 
Has anybody a hint for me?
