Linux (Redhat v 5.2 with kernel 2.0.36) has been running on my box for a
while without any problems. However to connect to my local packet BBS I
had to go to TPK on windows 95.
I decided it was time to take packet radio to linux.
After successfully recompiling the kernel to include the necessary ax25
stuff I got hold of the appropriate version of the ax25-utils package.
This is where my problem starts.
'make config' makes config.h without reporting any problems.
'make' starts off ok and bombs out. I have not much experience in
debugging such errors but I am keen enough to learn if somone can put me
on the right track. Here is an example of the type of errors which are
reported:
/usr/include/linux/socket.h:91: warning: `MSG_OOB' redefined

Any help most welcome.
