6. Construction problems

6.1 I get compile errors when I try to compile the kernel

The 2.2 package contains instructions which describe the steps needed to install the package. Briefly, you need to run the configure command. It will generate the links to the Makefile. Next, you need to run 'make kernel'. This will install the needed pieces should the need to be updated.

Once the pieces have been installed, please rebuild the kernel at this time. Do this even if you have previously constructed the kernel to support PPP. The driver shipped with the 1.2 and early 1.3 kernels is not compatible with the 2.2 version of pppd.

Once you have rebuilt the kernel then you may resume to build the pppd process, chat, and pppstats.
