Q
In older distributions, such as RHEL4, the 32-bit glibc will be contained in the
libgcc RPM. The RPM will be named similarly to:
libgcc-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386.rpm
In newer distributions, glibc is an RPM name. The 32-bit glibc will be named
similarly to:
glibc-2.3.4-2.i686.rpm
or
glibc-2.3.4-2.i386.rpm
Check your distribution for the exact RPM name.

Installing Newer Drivers from Other Distributions
The driver source now resides in infinipath-kernel. This means that newer
drivers can be installed as they become available. Those who wish to install newer
drivers, for example, from OFED (Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution), should be
able to do so. However, some extra steps need to be taken in order to install properly.
1. Install all InfiniPath RPMs, including
infinipath-kernel. The RPM
infinipath-kernel installs into:
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates
This should not affect any other installed InfiniPath or OpenFabrics drivers.
2. Reload the InfiniPath and OpenFabrics modules to verify that the installation
works by using this command (as root):
# /etc/init.d/infinipath restart
3. Run ipath_checkout or other OpenFabrics test program to verify that the
InfiniPath card(s) work properly.
4. Unload the InfiniPath and OpenFabrics modules with the command:
# /etc/init.d/infinipath stop
5. Remove the InfiniPath kernel components with the command:
$ rpm -e infinipath-kernel --nodeps
The option --nodeps is required because the other InfiniPath RPMs depend
on
infinipath-kernel.
6. Verify that no InfiniPath or OpenFabrics modules are present in the
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates directory.
7. If not yet installed, install the InfiniPath and OpenFabrics modules from your
alternate set of RPMs.
