[LARTC] Compile error "iproute2"

[Matías López Bergero]

I have a very similar problem with the same iproute2 and htb version, 
but with linux 2.4.22 vanilla, not rc2.

/usr/src/linux/include/linux/in.h:140: field `gr_group' has incomplete type
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/in.h:141: confused by earlier errors, 
bailing out
make[1]: *** [ll_map.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/iproute2/lib'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any idea about how to fix this??
Regards,
Matías.

Hi,

I am trying to compile "iproute2" (iproute2-2.4.7-now-ss020116-try.tar.gz,
inclusively the latest HTB patch, activated diffserv components) on a
SuSE-Linux 8.2 system (using "gcc 3.3", system based on "glibc 2.3.2").

It is no problem as long as I use the kernel header files of linux-2.4.20
(vanilla), linux-2.4.20.SuSE (special kernel patched by SuSE, shipped
with SuSE 8.2) or linux-2.4.21 (vanilla).

As soon as I use the header files of "linux-2.4.22-rc2" (i.e.
"/usr/src/linux" links to "/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-rc2") the compile
process breaks up very shortly after staring:

Of course, I know that "linux-2.4.22-rc2" is just a release candidate
but no official stable version. However, I'm going to ask this question:

Has anyone encountered the same problem? Is there any patch to solve it?
