Guide to getting OFED 1.2 to build on OpenSuSE

Grab the tarball from the open fabrics alliance (or from here)

Grab the build_new.sh from here, place it in the OFED-1.2 directory as root on your machine mv /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34/include/linux/miscdevice.h /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34/include/linux/miscdevice.h.original ln -s /usr/include/linux/miscdevice.h /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34/include/linux/miscdevice.h Then run the build_new.sh. Voila. Works. Binary RPMs are here.
