[LARTC] how can i compile tc

[John Baker]

I'm having a bunch of troubles with this as well. I'm using Ubuntu 
Dapper with vanilla kernel 2.6.20.3.

The iproute2-2.6.20 compile dies right away after
/usr/include/linux/ip.h:93:2: error: #error "Endian problem - this 
didn't happen"
iptunnel.c: In function ‘parse_args’:
iptunnel.c:62: error: ‘struct iphdr’ has no member named ‘version’
iptunnel.c:63: error: ‘struct iphdr’ has no member named ‘ihl’
make[1]: *** [iptunnel.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/iproute-2.6.20-070313/ip'
make: *** [all] Error 2

The iproute2-2.6.19 kicks out that same error (except the last line) and 
tries to run the whole thing but nothing compiles correctly.
The tc section looks like this:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/iproute2-2.6.19-061214/tc'

I have very little experience compiling software so I'm not entirely 
sure where to go from here. How can I try to compile iproute2-2.6.20 
with only tc?

As I have installed iptables-1.3.7 and various kernel patches it seems 
likely that some variation on the fix suggested below would help. But 
I'm just not sure exactly what I need.

Any suggestions?

Thank

John
