Dikshie,

This appears to be an issue with the gcc compiler. E.g., recently
"struct ip" (inside <netinet/ip.h>) has been defined as __packed,
hence probably the above compilation error.

Nevertheless, I just commited a work-around fix in
mfea/mfea_proto_comm.cc rev 1.19 and pim/pim_proto_register.cc rev
1.16 (which also suffers from the same compilation problem), hence
please do "cvs update" and get the lastest code from the CVS
repository.

Regards,
Pavlin
