In my case, yes, because that's what the debian.org HOWTO indicated should be done. The provided "main" packages did not detect, and bring up, the card, as a network device (as modules needed to be built/loaded to get to ip over Infiniband working), so I googled "Infiniband debian", and in the first hits for me was a document written in classic HOWTO format and style. I trusted it because I've been working with linux long enough to know about the history of finding a HOWTO, and because the URL involved was an "official" debian, pkg, web page. Note that I am NOT saying this is in any way the right thing, or correct thing, to do, this is more of a case study of "why X could cause Y". > Sounds like the bug is > in the packages from there. Well, if I did it, there' is a non-zero chance of humans doing such a thing, which might go a ways to explaining why others might have experienced the same issue. Of course, it might be unique to me, but there is a HOWTO highly ranked in google to recreate the same thing, with the same sources. > > However, I can't get a good build (to workaround): > > gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE -g -O2 -MT > > buf.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/buf.Tpo -c src/buf.c -fPIC -DPIC -o > > .libs/buf.o > > In file included from src/buf.c:39: > > src/mlx4.h:288: error: field ‘ibv_xrcd’ has incomplete type > Where is this libmlx4 source coming from? The source in the official > archive has nothing XRC-related. I'd assume it's coming from me adding the http://pkg-ofed.alioth.debian.org/apt/ofed sources. If there is an alternate/updated resource, for using Debian/Infiniband, that could be linked to, it might serve as a better reference, and help to populate "the google" to prevent others from going down the path I went down. -Ronabop -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
