i am running redhat 5.1, kernel 2.1.124 and although it may be a
development kernel i have had exactly the same problem under 2.0.35 so
i don't believe my problem is kernel related.
the 'make 2> debug' in the ppp-2.3.5 base directory gave me the
following log:

-------------------------------------------------------------
how do i fix this problem ? i've head numerous possible solutions in my
limited endeavour .. anything from glibc on a libc box, __u32 errors (or
whatever that is), development kernel probs etc
could all this be a kernel problem after all ?
