Hello...

I'm getting the following error when I try to run and of the ip rule
commands:
root@minkdev:/etc/iproute2# ip rule ls
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
Dump terminated

Does that mean that there is a problem with RTNETLINK or iproute2?  I've
recompiled my kernel to be sure that NETLINK and RTNETLING are both there.

I'm running Slackware 8.0 with kernel version 2.2.19 I believe and I just
downloaded iproute2-current.tar.gz yesterday.

any suggestions or pointers to any documentation will be helpfull or if you
can point me to a previous posting to this list in archives.  Thanks alot

TJ Cuddy <stable>

Hmm. Can you do a strace?

And check this: CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y

I can run strace.  Though what variables to that command I don't know what
you want me to run.  I appologise I'm new to both slackware and iproute2.

Just prepend this to your ip command:

strace -o log

And send us the log!
