Our kernel is also 2.6.18_194.17.4.el5.
We installed OFED 1.5.2 from source, following this guide:
https://wiki.rocksclusters.org/wiki/index.php/Install_OFED_1.5.x_on_a_Rocks_5.3_cluster
... which left us, among other things, a folder /usr/src/ofa_kernel.
Lustre on the server side is handled by our vendor, so all we needed
to worry about is the client.
To build a lustre client, we then installed lustre-1.8.5.tar.gz from
source, not from rpms. Our first compile produced the error you show
below.
# ./configure --with-linux=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
# make rpms
To get the lustre installation to use our new OFED, we tried this and
it worked.
# ./configure --with-o2ib=/usr/src/ofa_kernel --with-linux=/lib/
modules/`uname -r`/build
# make rpms
RPMs showed up in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64, and we are using
lustre-1.8.5*.rpm and lustre-modules-*.rpm on our client machines.
