PF RING build errors on RHEL Santiago 6.8

Hi all,

When trying to build release 6.4.1 I see "implicit declaration of function vlan_tx_tag_present" at line 3401 of drivers/intel/e1000e/e1000e-3.2.7.1-zc/src/kcompat.h

Some research suggests this problem has affected other products from other vendors.

Suggestions for things to try would be welcome. Plan B is to reimage four machines with 6.7, but we'd prefer not too if possible.

(We already have PF_RING 6.2.0 running happily on two RHEL 6.7 machines).

Thoughts welcome.

Regards,
A.

Hi Andrew
it seems e1000e-3.2.7.1-zc from PF_RING 6.4.1 compiles smoothly on my centos 6.8.
My machine is running kernel 2.6.32-642.11.1.el6.x86_64, what kernel version are you running?
Did you git clone https://github.com/ntop/PF_RING/tree/6.4.1-stable <https://github.com/ntop/PF_RING/tree/6.4.1-stable> ?

Hi Alfredo,

Thanks for the quick reply, and forgive the forum threading mishap. My phone seems confused.

We're running 2.6.32-642.4 2.el6.x86_64

I'll see what can be done to patch up to your 642.11.1 level.

We downloaded the tar.gz source from github.com/ntop/PF_RING/releases/tag/v6.4.1.

Regards,
A.

Hi Andrew
it seems that your kernel (.42) is newer than mine (.11) which is a Centos 6.8,
unfortunately I do not have a RH system in our lab with your kernel to test.

Sorry that should read 4.2 not 4 2, so our kernel is older than yours.

Fixed.

With 6.4.1. I edited drivers/intel/Makefile and commented out line 10 (referencing the e1000).

We were using a snapshot of the 6.2 0-stable branch, taken 30th March 2016. This doesn't build on Santiago 6.8, even with the makefile mod.

So all but two of our machines are 6.4.1, and the last two 6.2.0-stable machines will be updated soon.
