Bugzilla Bug 159878

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...
