More information: if_pppox.h is included in the ppp package and need the patch Could be that we also need this in the kernel ?

Sorry, don't need to post. Crazy ;)
For this bug and for bug #334397, I don't believe the described problems are correct. Rationale: I have 3 nearly identical systems. Each system consists of AMD64 level processors, ATI radeon graphics chips and at least two gigs of memory. Two of the systems were "cloned" using minimal "stage4" saves from the original system about 2 months ago. Aside from some kernel setting variations to account for mobo chipset differences, these three systems really are virtually identical. I recently upgraded "emerge --sync && emerge -uND world" two of these systems about 2 weeks ago (but no earlier than August 22) and both systems had no problem running ppp-2.4.5 and ntfs3g-2010.8.8 to completion. About a week later, I followed up and upgraded the third system (also using "emerge --sync && emerge -uND world"). Both the ppp and ntfs3g upgrades failed as described in their respective bugzilla entries. As it happens, I also re-upgraded the other two systems at the same time considering that there wouldn't be very many packages updated and also because I wanted the latest kernel updates. "emerge =ppp-2.4.5 =ntfs3g-2010.8.8" no longer run to completion on these two systems and fail in exactly the same way. I thought that perhaps the upgrade of portage from portage-2.2_rc67 to portage-2.2_r69 might possibly have been the cause and therefore downgraded portage back to 2.2_rc67. The ppp and ntfs3g emerges still fail on all three systems. I also tried upgrading portage to the latest version 2.2_rc72 and no still no joy. I don't know enough to feel comfortable downgrading python-2.6* and I also don't know enough to figure out which other packages I might consider downgrading for testing. I'm putting together and attachment consisting of the "emerge --info" results for all three systems plus some other information I feel will show what I've mentioned here. I'll post it shortly.
Created attachment 245267 [details] pyrodydno information For the computer systems named "pyrodyno", this file contains the results of: emerge --info emerge --depclean -p emerge -pv ppp ntfs3g revdep-rebuild -i -p emerge ppp
Created attachment 245268 [details] pyrotekk information For the computer systems named "pyrotekk", this file contains the results of: emerge --info emerge --depclean -p emerge -pv ppp ntfs3g revdep-rebuild -i -p emerge ppp
Created attachment 245269 [details] slizard information For the computer systems named "slizard", this file contains the results of: emerge --info emerge --depclean -p emerge -pv ppp ntfs3g emerge ppp (oops - forgot to include "revdep-rebuild -i -p")
I will be testing with some prior versions of the kernel. I want to check if the problem here and possibly with ntfs3g may be caused by an issue introduced in a kernel revision. I'm currently running vanilla-sources-2.6.35.4 on all three systems.
I did the following: cd /usr/src rm linux ln -s linux-2.6.34.2/ linux reboot Since I have multiple kernels avaiable through my grub menu, I rebooted to vanilla-sources-2.6.34.2. emerge ppp emerge ntfs3g The emerge of ppp-2.4.5 failed. The emerge of ntfs3g-2010.8.8 went through to completion. I'm going to test further by downgrading linux-headers and seeing if ppp will compile with that instead.
You can execute the following: emerge =linux-headers-2.6.34 && emerge ppp && emerge linux-headers I don't know if ppp will work afterwords so I don't know if this is a valid workaround. Use at your own risk.
