Bug 553876 – sys-apps/iproute2-4.1.0 fails to emerge with ‘TIPC_MAX_BEARER_NAME’ error

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mark 2015-07-03 21:02:40 UTC]

I cannot emerge iproute2-4.1.0 and get this error.  At first, I thought it was caused by my kernel 3.10.80 config which did not support TPIC protocol.  I recompiled the kernel with TPIC but iproute2 will still not emerge.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Fails with the same messages

Expected Results:  
Compiles.

That version of linux-headers is pretty old; that's probably the issue here.

Had to go to linux-headers-4.0 to make it compile.  Please close this bug report.

(In reply to Mark from comment #3)

not exactly ... the define is new to linux 3.16, not 4.0.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
