RE: [Keepalived] Release 0.5.6 available

Hi Alexandre,

I am trying to compile this new release but I am running into some trouble (IPVS 0.8.1 on kernel-2.4.9-31).

First of all I do not have 'net/ip_vs.h' in my include path, I do have it in the kernel sources however. To resolve this, I copied '/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-31SGI_XFS_1.0.2/net/ipv4/ipvs/ip_vs.h' into a subdir 'net' of the keepalived-0.5.6 sources. Then I modified 'data.h' and 'ipvswrapper.h' to read '#include "net/ip_vs.h"' instead of '#include <net/ip_vs.h>'. I remember doing the exact same thing with a previous release of keepalived, however this time the compiler exits with the following errors:

...
gcc -o ipwrapper.o -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -Wstrict-prototypes -D_DEBUG_ -D_KRNL_2_4_ -I/usr/src/linux/include -c ipwrapper.c

What am I doing wrong? This release of keepalived is supposed to work with version 0.8.1 of ipvs, isn't it?
