make: [mppLnx_Spinlock_Size] Error 1 when installing RDAC driver

[Yogeeraj_1]

Hi experts!

We are trying to install the RDAC driver on our system but it is failing during the build process (make clean is ok; make is failing)

Below an extract of the error message:

Is this a x86_64 system? Maybe you need to install the compatibility libraries.

Hi Ivan,

Thank you for the reply.

Found the solution.

glibc-devel was not installed.

Installed and the RDAC driver compilation completed smoothly...
========================================
...

image=/vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.EL
label=MPP
read-only
initrd=/mpp-2.6.9-42.EL.img
append=root=LABEL=/
...
MPP driver package has been sucessfully installed on your system.
========================================

Kind regards
