Hello,

I'm at Chp 6.58, Iproute. Here's what I've done and the error out I get. I have started it from scratch and even re-downloaded it and tried. I'm at a loss of what is going on.

What's wrong??? Thanks for the help!!!

It looks like it's puking on the kernel headers. Go after the first line that says 'error', in your case 6:58? I'll bet you know stuff now you didn't know before. Copied & pasted the commands, I hope? Typos can be a killer. Often, an earlier blooper takes some time to show. Is there anything you have suspicions about?

business_kid,

Thanks for the clue. I had searched the tar out of it. In the sysinfo.h file the (define stdint.h) was missing.

Glad you're going. The 1st error is usually it. The rest is a tailspin, but you've already been 'shot down' by that stage.
