[ofa-general] Howto build static libraries

[Huang, Zhenyi]

Hi folks,

I installed OFED-1.4.1-20090527-0600 via install.pl.  Things were fine with my Chelsio 10Gb PCI adaptor.  

So, I wanted to test build and install packages such as libibverbs.

I followed instructions in OFED_tips.txt:

Example for libibverbs:
 
1. tar xzf OFED-1.4.tgz
2. rpm -ihv SRPMS/libibverbs-1.1.2-1.ofed1.4.src.rpm
3. cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES (for RedHat)
   or
   cd /usr/src/packages/SOURCES (for SuSE)
4. tar xzf libibverbs-1.1.2.tgz
5. cd libibverbs-1.1.2
6. ./configure (specify parameters, if required)
7. make
8. make install
 


Now, I get the following error:

 ibv_devices
libibverbs: Warning: couldn't open config directory '/usr/local/etc/libibverbs.d'.
libibverbs: Warning: no userspace device-specific driver found for /sys/class/infiniband_verbs/uverbs0
libibverbs: Warning: no userspace device-specific driver found for /sys/class/infiniband_verbs/uverbs1
    device                 node GUID
    ------              ----------------

I'm sure I'm making a newbie mistake here.... Hopefuly someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Zhen
