I can't speak to a specific RPM list (Cisco's out of the IB business these days...), but maybe this will help:
1. To build OMPI, all you need is the verbs library and devel headers. 2. To run OMPI, all OMPI needs is the verb library. You probably also need the relevant verbs library plugin for your IB HCAs (e.g., libmlx4 if you have ConnectX HCAs). I'll make a few notes below in your list. > compat-dapl-1.2.14-1.x86_64.rpm > compat-dapl-debuginfo-1.2.14-1.x86_64.rpm > compat-dapl-devel-1.2.14-1.x86_64.rpm > compat-dapl-devel-static-1.2.14-1.x86_64.rpm > compat-dapl-utils-1.2.14-1.x86_64.rpm > dapl-2.0.19-1.x86_64.rpm > dapl-debuginfo-2.0.19-1.x86_64.rpm > dapl-devel-2.0.19-1.x86_64.rpm > dapl-devel-static-2.0.19-1.x86_64.rpm > dapl-utils-2.0.19-1.x86_64.rpm You definitely do not need any DAPL RPMs for OMPI. > ib-bonding-0.9.0-2.6.18_164.9.1.el5n.x86_64.rpm > ib-bonding-debuginfo-0.9.0-2.6.18_164.9.1.el5n.x86_64.rpm I doubt you need the bonding RPMs; OMPI does its own multi-device stuff. > ibsim-0.5-1.ofed1.4.2.x86_64.rpm > ibsim-debuginfo-0.5-1.ofed1.4.2.x86_64.rpm I don't know what ibsim is. > ibutils-1.2-1.ofed1.4.2.x86_64.rpm > ibutils-debuginfo-1.2-1.ofed1.4.2.x86_64.rpm > ibvexdmtools-0.0.1-1.ofed1.4.2.x86_64.rpm > infiniband-diags-1.4.4_20090314-1.ofed1.4.2.x86_64.rpm > infiniband-diags-debuginfo-1.4.4_20090314-1.ofed1.4.2.x86_64.rpm I don't know specifics of these, but you might want that to have some on-node diagnostics?
