Could someone please email me what a plain user is supposed to do to get net-tools r8 to compile in gentoo distribution with a 2.6._ kernel? I had noticed this problem several days ago and everyday I do an 'emerge sync' 'emerge -u net-tools' figuring that eventually this will get fixed in the main portage tree, but it is still failing. I will be glad to email additional info to anyone requesting. The last few lines of the compile are: inet6_sr.c: In function `INET6_setroute': inet6_sr.c:55: error: storage size of `rt' isn't known inet6_sr.c:87: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to an incomplete type inet6_sr.c:87: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to an incomplete type inet6_sr.c:87: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to an incomplete type inet6_sr.c:87: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to an incomplete type inet6_sr.c:87: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to an incomplete type inet6_sr.c:87: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to an incomplete type inet6_sr.c: At top level: /usr/include/net/dst.h:77: error: storage size of `rcu_head' isn't known make[1]: *** [inet6_sr.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-tools-1.60-r8/work/net-tools-1.60/lib' make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 !!! ERROR: sys-apps/net-tools-1.60-r8 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 78, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) ================================ Kernel is Linux version 2.6.3-gentoo-r1 Thank you.
sys-apps/net-tools-1.60-r8 works fine on all my 2.6 systems
