Updating the iprutils package

You can update the iprutils package.

You can download the user space package iprutils source code from SourceForge.net by clicking on the Download IPR Linux® Device Driver button. The iprutils source code is packaged in RPM and tar.gz formats. Users can download either package.

You must install certain development headers and libraries before compiling iprutils:

Table 1. Required development headers and libraries
RHEL4 and RHEL5 SLES10
  • glibc-headers
  • kernel-headers
  • ncurses-devel
  • pciutils-devel
  • libsysfs-devel
  • glibc-devel
  • ncurses-devel
  • pci-utils-devel
  • sysfsutils
When building iprutils in an RPM package, use the correct <RPM_DIR> for your system. If your system is running RHEL4 or RHEL5, use /usr/src/redhat. If your system is running SLES10, use /usr/src/packages.
  1. Login to the Linux system as root.
  2. Enter rpmbuild -rebuild -target=ppc iprutils-x.y.z-1.src.rpm where x.y.z is the iprutils version to build the iprutils package.
  3. Enter cd <RPM_DIR>/RPMS/ppc.
  4. Enter rpm -U iprutils-x.y.z-1.ppc.rpm to update iprutils.
