[Openswan Users] Error compiling OpenSwan 1.0.8 klips/utils (incomplete net/if.h) - RESOLVED

[Stephen Jones]

Hello OpenSwan list,

I have resolved the problem with the incomplete net/if.h header.  I 
compared my build machine with another installation of the same distro 
(Fedora Core 1) and there were noted discrepancies between the two 
machines.  I am not sure how the include files got overwritten with 
older versions of many of the headers, but this was the problem on the 
build machine.  OpenSwan 1.0.8 compiles just fine against a clean 2.4.28 
source tree on a machine with the proper includes.  Sorry for the 
bothersome posts.  I'll crawl back into my noobish lair now...
