Description of problem: libmthca-devel-1.0.6-1.el5.x86_64.rpm is not available for libmthca-1.0.6-1.el5.x86_64.rpm Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: latest devel package is libmthca-devel-1.0.4-6.el5_1.1.x86_64.rpm Expected results: Additional info:
libmthca-devel was obsoleted by libmthca-static, but for some reason, the Obsoletes: line was dropped from the spec. Install -static instead and all should be fine. Not sure if this is something worth fixing in an updated package, but it would be nothing more than a one-line spec file addition.
No, it's not that we didn't make a -devel package, it's that what used to be called mthca-devel by upstream is called mthca-static in rhel (the -static name is more accurate since the -devel package only contained the static library and nothing else, there is no real -devel for mthca, to write code for the mthca driver, you have to have libibverbs-devel installed and write a libibverbs application, it's libibverbs that uses libmthca, not the user application directly).
