I don't want to become an annoyance with this issue, but it doesn't seem 
to be much of a concern that the ofed install script won't successfully 
run on Fedora 10.  From the looks of things below, it's a packaging 
issue, not a build issue.  Unless I'm doing something wrong- but it 
seems fairly straighforward to run the install script and build.
Please let me know if there's a different approach I should be taking 
with this problem (different list, bug submission, etc) that would be 
more appropriate, and most important to me, more likely to get fixed.  
If I want to continue using Fedora 10 and I want mvapich/verbs, etc- 
what are my options?  I'd really like to avoid rebuilding an entire 
machine from scratch to a new OS just to be able to bring in OFED.
thx-

    Jeremy

I think the problem I'm seeing isn't kernel related... it's a problem w/ 
the build process.  It's trying to write to a directory that hasn't been 
created yet in the build root.

The error:
/+ modsyms=/var/tmp/OFED_topdir/BUILD/ofa_kernel-1.5/Module.symvers
+ for modsym in '$modsyms'
+ cat /var/tmp/OFED_topdir/BUILD/ofa_kernel-1.5/Module.symvers
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.91zmLA: line 37: 
/var/tmp/OFED_topdir/BUILDROOT/ofa_kernel-1.5-ofed20090922.x86_64//usr/src/ofa_kernel/Module.symvers: 
No such file or directory
/
The script around line 37:
/modsyms=`find $RPM_BUILD_DIR/ofa_kernel-1.5 -name Module.symvers -o 
-name Modules.symvers`
for modsym in $modsyms
do
        cat $modsym >> $RPM_BUILD_ROOT//usr/src/ofa_kernel/Module.symvers
done
/
The actual filesystem state:
/[root@33 ofa_kernel-1.5-ofed20090922.x86_64]# pwd
/var/tmp/OFED_topdir/BUILDROOT/ofa_kernel-1.5-ofed20090922.x86_64
[root@33 ofa_kernel-1.5-ofed20090922.x86_64]# ls
lib
[root@33 ofa_kernel-1.5-ofed20090922.x86_64]#
/
Note the lack of a usr folder, hence the error.  Isn't anyone else 
running into this?
