I'm still having problems compiling ppp 2.3.5 (or even 2.3.4)
Kernel is Linux 2.0.35 updated from the RedHat 5.1 distribution.
I know about the inequlity typo and about the make kernels failure to
copy ppp.c to over the old version (keeping a backup).
Ive updated glibc to the latest release as per RedHats
instructions this allows chat to compile ( and others e.g. diald ).
Ive attached the whole log file, if someone out there has time for a
quick look at it, please do, i'm getting a bit desperate, any
solutions, even returning to earlier releases.
The problem seems to centre around ppp-defs.h
It seems like one of the headers from the ppp dist is linking with a
kernel dist header that mis-defines or re-defines something that pp
needs, troube is, which one, there's 'hundreds'.
Thanks in advance
Jason.
