Just check the errors and then check the correspoding header files and then try switching the order of inclusion of header files. I suppose the following order does'nt print any error while the man page of rtnetlink keeps the inclusion of sys/socket.h after rtnetlink.h which gave me errors like you are reporting. Hope this helps. By the way which kernel version u are using ? <snip> #include <asm/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <linux/netlink.h> #include <linux/rtnetlink.h> #include <stdio.h> </snip> Seeing the netlink.h and rtnetlink.h , at various places are there declaration like sa_family_t and other types which correspond to socket structures and some to asm/types.h. But no header files are included in the same for these sructures . Can somebody throw some light on this ? -regards neeraj PS: By the way, this is my first post on the list.
