Description

trying to build Lustre 2.7 client with Mellanox OFED3.2
when I compile with the standard way,

./configure --disable-server --with-o2ib=/usr/src/ofa-kernel-3.2

the configure run fails at the stage of o2ib

"can't compile with OpenIB gen2 headers under /usr/src/ofa-kernel-3.2

when not specifying o2ib, the compilation process completes.

Thanks Kris.

I'll pass on your thought about documenting this.

Mellanox and my own notes.
Fixed in the mean time.

Might be worth a note in the build guide wiki.

Hi Kris,
Can you tell us who owns the documentation which is incorrect? Is there a remedial action for Intel to take?

Thanks,
~ jfc.

can be closed, documentation failure
build should be done with ./configure --with-o2ib=/usr/src/ofa-kernel/default not /usr/src/ofa-kernel-3.2
leads to unresolved symbols
