Hi Naresh,

Sorry to hear you are having problems running a cross build of XORP 
under Debian.

My suggestion would be: to focus on verifying XORP 1.7-WIP from public 
SVN sources works OK, natively on the Debian derived systems, before 
attempting cross-compilation.

Fixes/modifications WILL be needed to the new SCons build system, and 
we'd really appreciate your help in making this happen.

I have verified the current SVN code builds on Ubuntu 9.04, which is 
also a Debian derived system. Due to a lack of resource, I don't plan to 
look at other Debian derived systems; I am focused on making sure the 
FreeBSD based XORP LiveUSB build works, and preliminary testing suggests 
everything is OK there.

[This is largely a distraction for me at the moment, as I should really 
be getting on with the Thrift/Boost refactoring.]

I can't speak for default firewall configs under this system you're 
using, although it is certainly one place to start looking. My 
understanding is that the firewall configurations for most distros will 
pass through traffic on loopback just fine, if this isn't the case, then 
please feel free to contribute in this forum.

thanks,
BMS
