Two ways. One is to use gcc-3.2.3. You can install the gcc-3.2.3 without uninstalling the gcc-3.3 package. Just change the symbolic link in /usr/bin to point to the older compiler after install. Alternately, you can edit /usr/src/linux/net/core/rtnetlink.c and change the function declaration from extern __inline__ int rtlink_rcv_skb(struct sk_buf *skb); to static inline int rtlink_rcv_skb(struct sk_buf *skb); (The leading and trailing underscores around inline are no longer needed.) Changing the declaration from extern inline to static inline causes gcc-3.3 to actually inline the function and fix the problem. regards, Dan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
