I just sent another mail about this (might as well save that discussion
for the other thread -- don't answer here).

Actually, no. The libaio RPMs that are included in OSCAR are only for
distros that do not have their own.
Specifically, LAM needs libaio (for ROMIO, actually). On distros that
have libaio, the distro's own libaio RPMs should be installed. On others,
we have re-bundled the RH libaio RPMs. Hence, the libaio-oscar RPMs should
only be installed on those distros that need it (currently MDK and SuSE)
-- not RH9, because RH9 has its own libaio RPM.
I'm using LAM's config.xml to decide whether to install libaio-oscar* or
not:
-----
<rpmlist>
<filter distribution="redhat" distribution_version="8.0" />
<filter distribution="redhat" distribution_version="9" />
<rpm>libaio</rpm>
<rpm>libaio-devel</rpm>
</rpmlist>
<rpmlist>
<filter distribution="mandrake" />
<filter distribution="suse" />
<rpm>libaio-oscar</rpm>
<rpm>libaio-oscar-devel</rpm>
</rpmlist>
-----
The libaio-oscar and libaio-oscar-devel RPMs are in packages/lam/RPMS. I
*thought* that the <filter> line in LAM's config.xml would only install
these RPMs on platforms that fit the filter.

lam-with-gm-oscar lam-with-gm-oscar-module libaio libaio-devel

This *used* to work (and I thought that this is exactly what the filter
was for). Did something change?
