[pptp-server] Re: unresolved symbols in ppp.o using kernel 2. 2.19 (redhat)

[George Vieira]

I got this problem the first time working on pptpd and patching/compiling..

I found that you need a fresh copy of the kernel source installed and backup
the .config file before blowing away the /usr/src/linux directory...

Nelson,

I tried close to the same thing you're doing, unsuccessfully.  I ended up
using 
the 2.4 kernel patch with the Redhat 7.1 kernel;  but I think the fault is
not 
in the patch, but in Redhat's kernel.  Try turning off "Set Version
Information 
on all Module Symbols" under "Modules" during kernel config.  If
that doesn't 
work under 6.2, and you are set on using a stock Redhat kernel, upgrade to 
7.1.  I'm not sure what this kernel setting does, but it's been working
great 
for me for a few weeks now.  P.S. If this doesn't work and you do upgrade to

7.1, be sure to start with a Redhat configuration from the "/usr/src/linux-
2.4/configs" directory.  If you don't want to upgrade, most people will
advise 
you to download the kernel tarballs and use them.  Good luck!
