SubjectType conflicts in in.h header files.
Hi,

This is my first posting here, I'm not subscribed so I'd appreciate
any responses via email (although I will scan the lkml via Google).

There appears to be a conflict between the structures defined in the
following files:
/usr/include/linux/in.h
/usr/include/netinet/in.h

The kernel source I am using:
2.4.20-gentoo-r5 (I assume the Gentoo patches wouldn't cause this
though?)

I'm not much of a C programmer, but I'm attempting to build an old
daemon called "mrouted" to allow me to set up a multicast router using
linux (there doesn't seem to be ANY current documentation about this, so
I'm assuming I still need to use this daemon?!). The kernel was compiled
with all routing options enabled. Here's a partial error log during the
build:

gcc -D__BSD_SOURCE -Ibsd -O -Iinclude-linux -DRSRR -c -o igmp.o
igmp.c
In file included from /usr/include/linux/mroute.h:5,
from defs.h:34,
from igmp.c:14:
/usr/include/linux/in.h:25: conflicting types for `IPPROTO_IP'
/usr/include/netinet/in.h:32: previous declaration of `IPPROTO_IP'
/usr/include/linux/in.h:26: conflicting types for `IPPROTO_ICMP'
/usr/include/netinet/in.h:36: previous declaration of `IPPROTO_ICMP'
/usr/include/linux/in.h:27: conflicting types for `IPPROTO_IGMP'
/usr/include/netinet/in.h:38: previous declaration of `IPPROTO_IGMP'
/usr/include/linux/in.h:28: conflicting types for `IPPROTO_IPIP'
/usr/include/netinet/in.h:40: previous declaration of `IPPROTO_IPIP'

I did "fix" this problem by symlinking linux/in.h -> netinet/in.h,
however, this may have caused other problems during the build, but
that's my problem I guess!

Cheers,
Scott
