You might try to configure the version of tipc that comes with your distro and then add the appropriate version of tipc-config from sourceforge.net. Do you really need the routing features of the latest version of tipc? > I took the makefile supplied in the tipc 1.5 > release and ported it to work with 1.7.5. hum...

"strace tipc-config -n" and look at the result of the connection set-up over netlink. 2. type "sudo dmesg" to see if there is a complaint from the kernel module. sudo dmesg -c will be helpful. If there isn't any output from the tipc kernel module, then one should be added to the kernel code to indicate that an invalid message was received and rejected. It's Thanksgiving Monday in Canada, so I'm sure Allan will have other suggestions tomorrow.
