[gentoo-user] kernel compile error: no member named `dir'

[gentoo-user] kernel compile error: no member named `dir'

[Jarry]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 kernel, but I got this error:

<up to here everything seems to be normal>
CC net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_helper_pptp.o
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_helper_pptp.c: in function `exp_gre':
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_helper_pptp.c: 273: error:
 structure has no member named `dir'
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_helper_pptp.c: 279: error:
 structure has no member named `dir'
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_helper_pptp.c: 279: error:
 structure has no member named `dir'
make[3]: ***[net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_helper_pptp.o] Error 1
make[2]: ***[net/ipv4/netfilter] Error 2
make[1]: ***[net/ipv4] Error 2
make: *** [net] Error2

It seems to be somehow related to network connection tracking
option in netfilter, but I do not know what I misconfigured
and what is causing this error. Any idea? I would not like to
disable connection tracking, I find it a very useful feature...

Try to disable pptp contrack helper:
Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains)  --->
  Netfilter Configuration  --->
    Connection tracking (required for masq/NAT) ->
      PPTP protocol support

But this is rather strange. What arch do you have?	

Peter.
