[LARTC] Don't know how to compile tc

[L Rotger <lrotger@aircomp.aero>]

I am trying to build iproute2-2.4.7-20010824 from source on a 2.4.24 
kernel. I have played a bit with ADDLIB and LDLIBS variables but I 
always get errors so I suppose it's best if instead of playing I try to 
understand what does the following mean (from the README file):

ADDLIB should contain inet_* functions, if your libc contains
obsolete resolver library (<4.9.4) and you have no correct libresolv.
ADDLIB should also contain dnet_* functions if you don't have a
libdnet with support for them. If your libdnet does have support,
then comment out that line and uncomment the line to add -ldnet to
LDLIBS.

So I have some questions as, for example, what means "ADDLIB should 
contain inet_* functions"? and how do I know what is a correct libresolv 
or if my libdnet has dnet_* support?. I can program in C and C++ in 
Windows and love Linux but this paragraph goes over my head because I'm 
not used to the environment. Someone told me to compile this if I was a 
masochist so maybe others have encountered the same problem <g>

Thanks for your help.
