Here is  a short howto that I've put together for a friend of mine
that describes the steps necessary to compile the driver from source.

1. You go to and fill the form:
<https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/pick.do?source=lstdd>
(The link actually taken from
<ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Linux/RHEL4/lin_tape_Ultrium_AMD.ReadMe>,
paragraph "10.  Open-source aspects")

2. In the next page that opens I've chosen file named
"lin_tape-1.10.0-rhel4.tgz  (2.2MB)" and downloaded it.

3. Place it on RHEL machine and decompress it, it will create a
directory lin_tape-1.10.0, go into it. There you will find several
src.rpm files for various architectures. I took
lin_tape-1.10.0-rhel4.i386.src.rpm because I have RHEL4 update 3 on 32
bit (i386).

4. Place the file into /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/ (in fact it can be
anywhere in the system, but /.../redhat/SRPMS is the place intended
for SRPMs).

5. Run 'rpm -ihv lin_tape-1.10.0-rhel4.i386.src.rpm', this will create
a .spec file in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and put a tarball in to
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

6. cd into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and 'ls -l' should reveal the .spec file.

7. run 'rpmbuild -bb lin_tape.spec'  and cross your fingers. If
everything works as expected you will...

8. ...find your freshly baked RPM in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/
