I've been trying for the past couple days to install iproute2 on my LFS system.

First I had to make some changes to in.h and socket.h of my kernel include files to get it to start compiling, but now I've run into a new error that I cant seem to get around.

gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wall -g -I../include-glibc -I/usr/include/db3 -include ../include-glibc/glibc-bugs.h -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/include -I../include -DRESOLVE_HOSTNAMES -c -o arpd.o arpd.c

I've searched my computer, and I don't have the file db_185.h. I thought maybe it's because I dont have the berkeley DB installed, so I then installed db-4.1.25, but I'm still getting the error. Does anyone have any ideas here?

Got it figured out. I had to install v3 of the database instead of v4

i've installed db3 and i hope arpd.c will not complain.

I'm trying to compile this but its giving me errors about TCP_INFO, how do you solve them?

surely its to do with socket.h header files
