Question : > > Has anyone ever managed to compile iproute2 from source, > > running a 2.4.x kernel ? I have also managed to solve it in another way.. Here is how ... Solution 1: Well I have managed to fix the compile error on a kernel 2.4.x If we have a look at the file, /usr/src/linux/include/linux/if_ether.h that you get from the different kernels, we notice a change. On 2.2.x kernel... #define ETH_P_ECHO 0x0200 /* Ethernet Echo packet */ On 2.4.x kernel... #define ETH_P_PUP 0x0200 /* Xerox PUP packet */ Q: How to fix it ? In the directory /lib of the source from the iproute2 tarball, is a file called, 'll_proto.c' In the file, there is an entry '__PF(ECHO,echo)' on line 36. A: Remove this line, and try to compile it again.
