[mvapich-discuss] Missing infiniband/ib.h when installing

[RICHARD H D TOWNSEND]

Hi folks --

I'm attempting to compile and install mvapich2-2.3b on a rather old Linux cluster (OpenSuse 11; Linux 2.6.25). When I configure using

./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/townsend/madsdk --with-device=ch3:mrail --disable-shared

and then run

make -j8,

the compilation proceeds smoothly for some time before crashing with the following error:

  CC       src/mpid/ch3/channels/common/src/reg_cache/lib_libmpi_la-dreg.lo

I've checked in /usr/include/infiniband, and there's no ib.h header. But I don't know where to get it from.

cheers,
