I don't think the architecture is core to the issue.. but I googled around for quite some time on how to get OVS to install on RHEL.
Seems it is not native to the distro.... And a lot of the forums and entries about installations are older versions where the instructions have changed a lot.
The main website does not note the process that I could find... so I found and laid out the below set of steps

As you can see it fails.. my guess is a conf file is pointing to the incorrect path for the 'run' file locations.
Any help on
1. Am I doing this correctly for RHEL / Centos
2. Is their a fix for the above
3. Is their a subscription channel I can add to RHEL that has this built as an RPM
Thanks,
