[LARTC] Re: What am I missing?

Follow-up to my own post here:

Problem ended up being that the tc included in the iproute RPM in Fedora
Core 2 was built specifically against the headers in the glibc-kernheaders
RPM.

When I switched to a custom kernel (for built-in MPPE support), apparently
some symbols referenced in the glibc-kernheaders package are not present in
the non-RH kernel.  This was causing my issue.

Solution was to modify the .spec file for iproute and tell it to compile
against my custom kernel's headers specifically.

Specifically I had to make the following changes to the .spec file to get
things to work:

 - Modify iproute2-2.4.7-kernel.patch to point to /usr/src/linux/include
 - Do not apply iproute2-2.4.7-misc.patch
 - Do not apply iproute2-2.4.7-in_port_t.patch

This makes everything happy once again!  I'm not sure what the consequenes
are of not applying those RedHat patches, but the tool still works normally
as far as I can tell.
