We don't support any make/ninja install flows and you posted one of the possible failures.

There are three recommended ways to build and install rdma-core:
1. For run in-place (without install) - use build.sh - recommended way.
2. For properly created RPM/DEB packages for other OSes - use buildlib/cbuild script.
3. For RPMs created for this OS - use "rpmbuild --build-in-place -bb redhat/rdma-core.spec"

Fro step 2 and 3, installation is done with those RPMs/DEBs.

Thanks
