RE: [Freeipmi-users] Resolving error: "could not find inbanddevice"

Hi Al,

The whole point of this is that I want to compile freeipmi and then use the
output files for distribution on our many other nodes.  I think you are
asking me to compile freeipmi, so that I could then do the "make install"
which makes everything work on the machine I compiled on.  So I would have
to compile freeipmi on all the other machines.  And to make matters worse,
we are using a LiveCD on each of those machines so part of the boot up
process either requires a remastering of the CD or compiling freeipmi as
part of the boot up process, which we need to avoid.

Again, all of our machines are clones of each other: same hardware/software

I see that freeipmi creates these other directories as part of the make
install:
        usr/etc
        usr/var  (if if isn't already there)

As part of the copy process, again here is my distribution method:

1.  Copy all freeipmi binaries (ipmi*, bmc*, rmpping, pef-config to usr/sbin
2.  Copy all freeipmi libraries to /usr/lib64 (also create the symlinks that
the make install does)
3.  Copy the entire /usr/etc directory to the target computer. (freeipmi
creates this directory and puts stuff in it during make install).



Respectfully Yours,

Can you do the full install instead of the just copying the files over.
There's atleast one other file a few of the drivers require that comes
with the full-install.
