I am trying to figure out what version of "route" or "iproute" I can get to
work on a Red Hat 5.2 system that will let me add an indirect route.


First, ftp.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk does not appear to have 1.48 yet, it seems
to be only on the WWW site.


It looks like a huge bear to get iproute to compile under glibc, has anyone
done this?


And with the 1.46 and 1.48 "route" commands, I get this:

wdcn0b{SUPERUSER:37}/opt/build/net-tools-1.48# netstat -rn

wdcn0b{SUPERUSER:39}/opt/build/net-tools-1.48# ./route add -net

This sort of route command worked under 2.0.x, is there a different syntax
I need to be using?
