psrc.h:93 contains the following declaration
struct sockaddr_nl peer;

---------
the sockaddr_nl is defined in <linux/netlink.h>

/usr/include/linux/uio.h:45 contains the following code

static __inline__ size_t iov_length(const struct iovec *iov, unsigned long nr_segs)

for (seg = 0; seg < nr_segs; seg++)
ret += iov[seg].iov_len;
return ret;
}

unsigned long iov_shorten(struct iovec *iov, unsigned long nr_segs, size_t to);

Correction: actually it's not hardy, it's gutsy, ubuntu 7.10.

Hi all,
To solve this problem you need to add the following line in psrc.h file:

#include <linux/netlink.h>

After this ipcad was compiled successfully.

Thanks! - That's working for Debian/lenny, too!
