[mvapich-discuss] problems with OFED installation with MVAPICH2 RPM

[Lenny Neil]

Good evening

The installation of OFED 1.3 and 1.3.1 - I have been running into some 
issues installing on RHEL 5.1  kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.*64.  I'm also seeing 
installation failures with OFED with the latest RHEL 5.1 kernel-2.6.18-92, 
which your documentation says it's not covered as of yet. 

Do you know when you'll have a updated OFED package that will install on 
the latest RHEL 5.1 kernel? 

Any ideas why we are seeing the error below?  The RHEL 5.1 system running 
kernel-2.6.18-53 has gcc and gcc++ installed with the development package. 
 

Here is the error
