I had the same problem.
The point seems to be that the LAM people have released a src rpm
which is somehow more intented for developers. If you examine the
spec file of the original 7.1.1 rpm, you find
# $Id: lam-caos.spec,v 1.7 2003/07/30 17:24:45 jsquyres Exp $
while the one from 7.0.6 contains
# $Id: lam-generic.spec,v 1.3.2.5 2003/11/12 04:24:12 jsquyres Exp $
I think that 'generic' sounds much better than 'caos' ;)
So what I did is to take the 7.0.6 specfile and adjust it for 7.1.1.
Works like a charm. (Actually, not really; statically linked MPI
programs do not run. But I guess this has nothing to do with the topic
of this mail. If anyone disagrees please tell me.)
If you are interested in 'my' specfile I can send it to you.
