That's the error when compiling ppp: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Os -march=i686 -pipe -I../../../include/linux '-DVERSION="3.3"' -c -o if.o -fPIC if.c if.c: In function ‘openInterface’: if.c:423: error: storage size of ‘ifr’ isn’t known make[2]: *** [if.o] Error 1 Strangely, this error doesn't stop the compilation, that goes "well", but suddently an error occours at the beginning of the installation because rp-pppoe.so doesn't exist! The error on installation is: >>> Source compiled. >>> Test phase [not enabled]: net-dialup/ppp-2.4.4-r4 >>> Install ppp-2.4.4-r4 into /var/tmp/portage/net-dialup/ppp-2.4.4-r4/image/ category net-dialup !!! dosbin: pppd/plugins/rp-pppoe/pppoe-discovery does not exist install: cannot stats `pppd/plugins/rp-pppoe/rp-pppoe.so': No such file or directory ppp used to compile&install fine with older kernels and headers...
