The update to inet diag broke compatibility with exported headers. Iproute2 uses sanitized kernel headers. gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wall -I../include -DRESOLVE_HOSTNAMES -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/lib/\" -c -o ss.o ss.c ss.c: In function ‘tcp_show_netlink’: ss.c:1504:7: error: ‘struct inet_diag_req’ has no member named ‘idiag_family’ make[1]: *** [ss.o] Error 1The structures need to be swapped to maintain source compatibility. inet_diag_req_compat needs to be renamed back to inet_diag_req inet_diag_req should be named something like inet_diag_req_generic
Stephen, actually the diag modules were patched to be only binary compatible with the ss. In order to make it compile with new headers I've sent the patches fixing ss, here they are: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg182467.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg182858.html http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2011/12/15/45
