Installing in an Alternate Location

The --prefix option can be used to specify an alternate installation location,
replacing the /usr prefix as noted in
in /etc regardless of whether or not --prefix is used.
If you install into an alternate location you should set the variable
INFINIPATH_ROOT to the same value. See
Interconnect User Guide for more information on setting this environment variable.

Installing for Your Distribution

You may be using a kernel which is compatible with one of the supported
distributions, but which may not be picked during infinipath-kernel
installation. It may also happen when using make-install.sh to manually
recompile the drivers.
In this case, you can set your distribution with the $IPATH_DISTRO override. Run
this command before installation, or before running make-install.sh. We use
the RHEL4 Update 4 distribution as an example in this command for bash or sh
users:
$ export IPATH_DISTRO=rhel4_U4
The distribution arguments that are currently understood are found in the file
build-guards.sh. make-install.sh and build-guards.sh are both found
in this directory:
/usr/src/infinipath/drivers
These are the arguments used for RHEL, CentOS(Rocks), and Scientific Linux.
rhel4_U2
rhel4_U3
rhel4_U4
These are the arguments used for SLES, SUSE, and Fedora:
