Another change needs to be made for ppp 2.3.5 installation on RedHat 5.1.
(or at least I had to make it) . I had to add the line "#include
<asm/types.h>" to
<INSTALL_DIR>/ppp-2.3.5/pppd/sys-linux.c, newline # 43
and
<INSTALL_DIR>/ppp-2.3.5/pppstats/pppstats.c, newline # 50
otherwise I got compile errors related to undefined types (e.g. __u32 )
