Hi,

I can't speak for Debian specifically.

Are you attempting to cross-compile XORP?
If so, what kind of build host do you have?
Can you post the output of the configure command and the config.log to 
this list?

It is quite possible to have all requisite packages installed on the 
host system, but are you installing these on the build host itself, or 
in a staging area for your cross-compilation?

I highly advise having a copy of the Autoconf Book by Tom Tromey et al 
when debugging these kinds of issues.

Very generally speaking, a Linux 2.6 kernel is preferable to Linux 2.4 
for a number of reasons which I won't go into here for brevity.

thanks,
BMS
