You probably don't have Netlink support in your kernel.  Compile in Netlink 
support (under Networking Options) and you should be set to go.

Indeed, i did compile the kernel that way:

Kernel/user netlink socket
   routing messages
   netlink device emulation

these are all compiled in the kernel as "embedded".

Is there anything else?

But thanks for the answer anyway.

Hi!

It seems, that my problem is solved - partially.
I can now run the tests came with mpls-linux0.700, but it seems that
when doing ftp fom hostA to hostB, the traffic does not take the 
LSPs established. Altought ftp was working.

We've tcpdumped the traffic, and we couldn't see whether ftp uses the LSP or 
the good old tcp connection.

How do i know when mpls is working? Maybe i`m just missing the point.

Thanks in advance

Peter

Go and grab yourself Ethereal, quite possibly the best traffic sniffer
available for Linux (arguably).  It requires X11, but it is quite cool.

The analizer is able to detect many types of packets, including (but in
no means limited to) MPLS, LDP, and RSVP.

Before setting up the test again execute mplsadm -d.
Setup the test again and then dump the contents of /proc/net/mpls_*.
Also do a 'dmesg' from your shell prompt.

Send all of the outputs to me.

With that info I should be able to see why it's not working for you.
