Supported Linux Distributions
The currently supported distributions and associated Linux kernel versions for
InfiniPath and OpenFabrics are listed in Table 5-1. The kernels are the ones that
shipped with the distributions.
Setting Up Your Environment
Keep the following in mind when setting up the environment:
The kernel-devel (for Red Hat and Red Hat-derived kernels) RPM or
kernel-source (for SLES) RPM for your distribution/kernel must be
installed.
The runtime and build environments must be the same. Compatibility
between executables built on different Linux distributions cannot be
guaranteed.
Install sysfsutils for your distribution before installing the OpenFabrics
RPMs, as there are dependencies. Check your distribution’s documentation
for information about sysfsutils. This package is called udev on
SLES 10.
