[Ling Hwa Hing <hwahing nasioncom net>]

Hi all,
Good Day to you guys. I couldn't compile the multipath-tools which released with udev-025 and multipath-tools-0.18 either.
this is the compilations error i get from the screen

----end----

any idea on how to solved this? I've been try to install this for few days. (how dumb i am)

I would like to test out the multipath in my linux box and hit it with some traffic.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
