[Bsc_Cns]

Hi,

We have a SLES11 SP3 non original kernel, and mellanox ofed 2.2 and when trying to rebuild the ofed-driver-3.3-1.src.rpm it fails with the following error:

# rpmbuild --rebuild --define MOFED=1 src/ofed-driver*.src.rpm

Dapl and libscif rebuilding went ok. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

We solved it, it was a matter of disorder in the includes. This is how you can solve it, in case anyone else is using SLES11 SP3:

This patch modifies the tcp_utils.h file inside the ofed-driver.tar.gz which is contained in the ofed-driver-3.3-1.src.rpm file in thge src directory.

Hope it helps.
