sys-apps/iproute-20010824-r3 is failing to build. It looks like there is a compile problem, with iproute including a file from /usr/src/linux when it probably should be getting it from /usr/include/linux. My /usr/src/linux is pointing to linux-2.4.22 and my kernel headers are 2.4.19. I'm running 2.4.21 currently, since I have not had a chance to reboot the system in the last few months -- I don't think this is the issue, though.

it's known that headers newer than 2.4.19 don't allow the package to build. sys-apps/iproute-20010824-r4 points to the headers in /usr/include/ instead of in the kernel tree.

Nope, you don't need to downgrade the kernel at all. -r3 of iproute built against the headers in /usr/src/linux -r4 of iproute builds against the headers in /usr/include instead. P.S. please respond to bugs on bugzilla, so that emails don't get lost along the way.
Hi Robin, Thanks for the clarification -- I had misread your reply and though you were talking about the same version I was.. :P I noticed -r4 is unmasked now; it emerged without errors on my systems and appears to be working very well. Thanks for your support, Michael
