[pptp-server] Re: problems building your rpm's for ppp

[Adi]

Yes, I had to add a small patch for RH6.2 (an extra argument in the
kill_fasync() call).  You'll see it in one of the patches contained in the
src.rpm.

My guess is that you are using the RH6.2 kernel (kernel-2.2.14-5.0) but you
recently upgraded from an RH6.1 system, and didn't upgrade all the system
RPMs.  In a stock RH6.2 system, the kill_fasync() call takes 3 args, not 2.

So there are a couple ways to fix this:

1) upgrade all your RPMs to the RH6.2 versions
2) edit the ppp-2.3.10-2mschap_mppe_rh62.spec file contained in my src.rpm
and comment out the %patch7 statement ( this skips the kill_fasync patch )
