Greetings,

I need to build a local version of opensm and infiniband-diags to bringup a mlx based fabric.
I'm not using rpm based distro so I need to compile the code myself.

I've looked into the build dependencies of the two pkgs mentioned above, I both state that I need libibumad-devel, first glance on the tar file reveals there is no libibumad rpm.
so I've looked into the other rpms and found it inside of infiniband-diags.
looking on the build dependencies of infiniband-diags shows it needs opensm thus creating a circular dependency issue.

how can I build both packages? I cannot install any old versions on there pkgs.

Thanks,

Dagg.
