[ofa-general] Issues with compilation of OFED 1.2.5.4 and RHEL 4 U6 kernel 2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp

[Andrea Capriotti]

Hi all,

when compiling the latest OFED version (1.2.5.4) on a RHEL 4 U6 (kernel
2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp) I get the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-67.0.1.EL-smp-x86_64'

No problem with RHEL 4 U5 (kernel 2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp).

Any idea?

Best Regards
