XORP can build on a number of Linux distributions and other OSs (see
BUILD_NOTES), but so far we hadn't tried it on OpenSUSE.
Anyway, I just committed a fix to CVS:

Revision  Changes                             Path
1.20      +2 -2;  commitid: e0648ab36f841a7;  xorp/fea/data_plane/fibconfig/fibconfig_entry_set_netlink_socket.cc

The fix itself is trivial so if you don't want to use the latest
code from anon. CVS,  you might want to apply that fix by hand:

http://cvsweb.xorp.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/xorp/fea/data_plane/fibconfig/fibconfig_entry_set_netlink_socket.cc.diff?r1=1.19;r2=1.20

We are using a variety of gcc compilers, so I am surprised that so
far this particular compilation error hasn't been caught by some of
them. What C/C++ compiler are you using?

I am installing OpenSUSE-11.0-64x86 in background, so hopefully
this will help us catch other similar compilation issues.
In any case please let us know if you run across some other issues.
