hello
I also had problems with newest linux kernels and pppd 2.3.5 but now
everything works great :-) thanks to Jason Davis
I hope you'll find this useful
now i use pppd 2.3.5 and kernel 2.1.125 (i've tried 121 to 124 also) on
RedHat 5.1
Now a solution writen by Jason Davis (thanks again :-)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This little bit of info got me up and running hope it will work for you
too:
Let me guess... Compilation stops near the sys-linux.c file?
If so, all you have to do is to:
(assuming that you're in the ppp-2.3.5 top level dir.)
1. Type ./configure :-)
2. Cd into linux/
3. Replace files `if.h', `if_arp.h', `if_ppp.h', `ppp-comp.h',
`ppp_defs.h'
and `route.h' with relevant ones from your /usr/include/net
directory.
Then, it will compile, but partially :-). It will stop on the
`pppstats.c'.
4. Then, enter `-D__GLIBC__=2 into the COMPILE_FLAGS of your Makefile
in the pppstats/ directory. (just in case...)
5. Tweak the file ppp-2.3.5/include/net/ppp-defs.h. Enter
unsigned int bytes_out;
unsigned int in_count;
in the line 159 (under `unsigned int ratio;').
6. Then cd into ppp-2.3.5 top level directory. Type standard `make ;
make install' - it should compile without any problems...
