I think you will find that the documentation makes it pretty clear that this works on stock standard linux (I tested against Centos4.4). As also stated in the documentation, the build was tested against 1.5.97 (1.6b7). I suspect the same code should work against 1.4 liblustre as well. Though, the patches may have to be applied by hand in those cases.
I'll be interested to see if anyone else gets it working and whether it is a project that should be continued. On 2/10/07, Weikuan Yu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Very good to know that. It has been a long time since the last time I tried liblustre over linux, using lustre-1.2-lanl I guess. It got built fine, but no success in running liblustre back then. Presumably my fault or lack of accesses to compatible packages. Stuart, could you please indicate which version of lustre builds fine for liblustre? And the version of sysio that is compatible with it? If liblustre would just work over linux as you indicated on the webpage, please confirm. It might help if a specific sentence is added on the webpage indicating the instructions work for linux. Many thanks, Weikuan
