[mpls-linux-general] Problems with mpls-linux patch Installation

[Sudheer V. <sud...@ya...>]

Hi,

We are trying to install the mpls-linux(1.172) patch and are running into problems. We were able to successfully install the kernel patch but we could not install the rest of the bundle(PPP, IPTABLES, IPROUTE2). The source code for these utilities was not already available on our system, so we had to download them from the mentioned sources. After downloading them, the make for PPP went succesfully but the patch installation fails. Also, for the other two even the make was not successful. The make fails giving the following error message :

iproute2

Please, Compile the kernel first
make: *** [check-kernel] Error 1

iptables

Extensions found: IPv4:length IPv6:LOG IPv6:owner IPv6:limit IPv6:mac IPv6:multiport
cc -O2 -DNDEBUG -Wall -Wunused -I/usr/src/linux/include -Iinclude/ -DNETFILTER_VERSION=\"1.2.4\"  -fPIC -o extensions/libipt_tcp_sh.o -c extensions/libipt_tcp.c

make: *** [extensions/libipt_tcp_sh.o] Error 1

Here's our system configuration :

kernel - linux 2.4.19

iptables-1.2.4.tar(from the internet)

iproute2-2.2.4-now-ss991023.tar(from the internet)

ppp-2.4.1.tar(from the internet)

Can you please send a document/instruction booklet on the installation of this patch? We will appreciate if you could send us a document on common installation issues and workarounds for the same.

Thanks,
