I'm trying to compile iw in centos5.8 server (command line only). I
have libnl and libnl-devel installed:
]# rpm -q libnl
libnl-1.0-0.10.pre5.5
I've tried 4 different versions of iw*.tar.bz2 but all give compile
errors that i can't resolve. The last one I tried was iw-0.9.1 but
make gives:
]# make
 CC   interface.o

There is no iw yum package for centos5 that I can find.
I've been searching google but cannot find a solution to the above
error, thanks for any help.
