Occasionally, conflicts may arise when trying to install "on top of" an existing set of 
files that may come from a different set of RPMs. For example, if you install the 
QLogic MPI RPMs after having previously installed Local Area Multicomputer 
(LAM)/MPI, there will be conflicts, since both installations have versions of some 
of the same programs and documentation. You would see an error message 
similar to the following:

# rpm -Uvh Documentation/*rpm InfiniPath/*rpm 
InfiniPath-Devel/*rpm InfiniPath-MPI/*rpm OpenFabrics/*rpm 
OpenFabrics-Devel/*rpm OpenSM/*rpm

Preparing...                
########################################### [100%]

file /usr/share/man/man3/MPIO_Request_c2f.3.gz from install of 
mpi-doc-2.2-4321.776_rhel4_psc conflicts with file from package 
lam-7.1.2-8.fc6

Use the following command to remove previously installed conflicting packages. 
This command will remove all the available LAM packages:

# rpm -e --allmatches lam lam-devel lam-libs

After the packages have been removed, continue with the InfiniPath installation.

You can also use the 

--prefix 

option with the 

rpm

 command to relocate the 

install directory of any packages that you need to move. See 

 for more information.

On a 64-bit system, 32-bit 

glibc

 must be installed before installing the 

mpi-frontend-*

 RPM. 

mpirun

, which is part of the 

mpi-frontend-*

 RPM, 

requires 32-bit support.

If 32-bit 

glibc

 is not installed on a 64-bit system, an error like this displays when 

installing 

mpi-frontend

:

# rpm -Uv ~/tmp/mpi-frontend-2.2-14729.802_rhel4_qlc.i386.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
/lib/libc.so.6 is needed by mpi-frontend-2.2 
-14729.802_rhel4_qlc.i386

In older distributions, such as RHEL4, the 32-bit 

glibc

 is contained in the 

libgcc

 

RPM. The RPM will be named similarly to:

libgcc-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386.rpm
